About

Honey Bunch childcarers is an ofsted registered childminding service based in Enfield, offering an alternative form of childcare to other nurseries in Enfield. We cover areas: Palmers Green, Wood green, Southgate, Winchmore hill, Alexander Palace, Muswell Hill covering postcodes N13, N15, N11, N22, & N21. Honey bunch childcarers believe that the early years of a child’s life is essential in providing the foundation for a successful future. Children with the right stimulus and nurturing can blossom to become whatever their little heart desires regardless of their background or start in life. Every child that attends our setting, is made to feel this is their home away from home in a safe and secure environment. Learning through play is encouraged and we have a variety of toys and equipment to support the children’s differing stages of development in line with the learning outcomes of the EYFS. Children in our setting are free to express themselves and are encouraged throughout the day, to make choices and decisions to develop their confidence and independence. The childcare for each child is personalised to meet their own individual needs, wants and interest. Our priority is to build a trusting and caring relationship between the parents, the child and our carers.

Description

We have two childminding assistants who work on a part time basis. They have been carefully vetted to ensure they share our ethos and fit in well with our small family set up. They are both Ofsted registered with valid DBS and have Paediatric First Aid training. PLAYGROUPS The children are taken to local playgroups in Bush hill park, Enfield & Ponders end for childminders at least once a week. At these groups they develop their social skills when interacting and playing with other pre- school children. They take part in fun activities such as creative play, painting, singing, dancing and reading stories. MEALS AND NUTRITION We provide healthy nutritious meals, essential to children’s well being, meeting any allergies, special dietary or religious requirements. Drinks: Children have access to water throughout the day. They are also encouraged to ask when they would like to drink. Snacks: The children receive two snacks a day, which is always a variety of fresh fruits. Meals: We follow a four weekly menu prepared onour premises from scratch. Our food menu is taken from around the world and includes their daily vegetable intake. Special Diets: When settling a child into our setting, we discuss with parents the following: The food your child likes, dislikes, allergies and any cultural or dietary requirements. These are noted on the Childs Record Form completed your before your child attends. Snacks for babies are provided but parents are asked to provide their lunch, dinner and Formula or any other milk substitute. OUTINGS Whether it is a simple walk to the local park or a visit to a theatre show. We endeavour to take the children on excursions out of the home setting. This is a great chance for greater social bonding and forming wonderful memories. DAILY DIARY Parents are provided with a daily written record of their child’s daily routine. This will contain information such as: Activities the children have done during the day Meals eaten Toileting Sleep duration Observations made during the day Photographs of the their child’s play.
