Watts, Sandra (Shining Stars Childminding)

I provide a home from home, nurturing, safe and stimulating environment with a large enclosed garden, dedicated playroom and log cabin. I offer a wide range of activities and resources including cooking, arts & crafts, role play and outdoor play, visits to local toddler groups, parks, library and the beach. We believe that children learn best through high quality and engaging play opportunities.

All activities and planning are based around your child's current interests provided at a developmentally appropriate level. Every child is recognised and valued as being unique and individual and learning is encouraged through a rich and varied environment.
