Expressions Childcare Centre

At Expressions we encourage an environment where freedom of choice and positive interactions with other children and adults promote a sense of belonging, self worth and confidence in children. Our children learn through play.

We pride ourselves on providing a family atmosphere in a happy, healthy and safe environment.

With guidance from our supportive qualified teachers, children learn by actively following their own individual interests.

Our programme supports and encourages children's confidence, perseverance and imagination skills through exploration and discovery. Each day the programme includes:

• art experiences (painting/craft/cutting etc)
• carpentry
• singing
• dancing
• listening to stories
• computers
• playdough
• cooking experiences

We also offer outdoor activities such as

• sand and water play
• puzzles
• blocks
• games
• trip outside of the centre

A unique part of our programme is our education outside of the classroom concept of learning. This consists of regular educational outings and trips in the centre mini bus (child care seats and restraints are supplied.) These outings may include the Zoo, visiting the local library each week for story time, Ambury Farm etc.

We ask that parents supply all food for their children. At Expressions our focus is on healthy eating habits. We have found that children eat better when they have food that they are used to eating at home

Our centre is open through out the year except for public holidays.

We have a huge natural outdoor area including :

• 3 sandpits
• swings
• climbing frames
• water play
• carpentry etc

The children have their own vegetable garden where they watch the veges grow then harvest and prepare for a snack or lunch. Our children are very keen on recycling and have a worm farm.

Expressions operates an open door policy giving parents the opportunity to stay at the centre for as long as they like when their child is attending.
