Funhouse is so much more than a childcare setting. It’s a warm, bustling home where a little family of children of all ages come together everyday. To play, be creative, learn and most importantly be totally themselves.

Stephen is a consummate professional who cares about the welfare of each child beyond what any nursery setting possibly could. (In our opinion) anything from sleep, illness, mood, or just what a fastidious toddler fancies to eat that day! Whatever the ‘thing is’ however big or small Stephen and his team strive to help.

Our son is 3 and has been attending Fun House (or as its fondly known ‘Jean and Stephens’) for 2 years. We firmly believe that our bright, kind and bold son has become the child he is, partly because of the way he is treated by Stephen and his team. With a kindness, a reassuring firmness and level of respect that only someone who truly understands children and their development could offer.

Our second son will be joining the crew in the Spring. The feeling of reassurance I have to know that he will be attending a safe and positive setting has made the weeks leading up to the end of my maternity leave and the handover so much easier to come to terms with.

I’d love for them to be the best kept secret in St Albans, but if you’re looking for a childminder in St Albans this is the one to get in touch with!
