Our Crèche

The Isis Crèche is caring for children aged birth to 5 years.  Older children can attend during school holidays providing we have the space.  We can have up to ten children at each session, but mostly we have groups of no more than six hence the children receiving lots of individual attention.

We offer a very high level of childcare.  The Crèche is a very calm, caring and peaceful environment helping children develop at their own speed and teaching them to trust other adults and interact with their peers.

Lots of support and reassurance is given to mothers with help and advice always at hand if needed.  Staff have daily chats with mums about their child and lots of positive feedback is given.




The Crèche has a wide range of appropriate toys and equipment and a lovely garden so the children can play outside (weather permitting.  We take the children out for walks and outings whenever possible.  We have a seaside trip every year, a fun day, a barbeque, garden party along with riverside walks and picnics in the park.

The Crèche is a very important part of the work at the Isis and we pride ourselves on providing the best possible childcare.

An OFSTED Report is available for any parent wishing to read it.

Crèche Guidelines

We are concerned with your child’s physical, emotional, social, intellectual and language needs.  We feel it is important to remember that all children develop at different rates and every child has different needs.  We treat each child as an individual.

We offer a variety of different plan activities e.g. sand, water, gluing, cutting, singing and reading stories etc.

We also offer the opportunity for every child to socialise with other children, helping them to mix, share and play with others.

We encourage children and always have time to talk, play and listen.  We take a positive approach to every child.

Snack - At each session the children will be offered a drink, fruit or a biscuit.  If a child has any dietary needs please let us know.

Nappies - If your child is in nappies please provide disposables.

Bottles - Please provide a bottle if your child requires one.  Provision can also be made for mum to breastfeed in comfort.

Clothing - Whilst we take every care always encouraging children to wear an apron for painting, gluing etc, accidents do happen, so we would ask parents not to put children in their best clothes.

Illness - If a child is ill or has anything contagious, we would ask that they are NOT brought into the Crèche; this avoids illness being passed onto other children.
