24.01.2022 We had so much fun with this activity! The children used a variety of tongs to move the treasures from one tray, into the holes in another tray. There was lots of concentration and conversation going on as the children persevered with this task. It was a great exercise to develop fine motor skills and hand eye coordination, but most of all, the sense of accomplishment the children had when they were done was wonderful

24.01.2022 This week we have been all about the spaghetti! Our older children were given the opportunity to practice their scissor grip and hand eye coordination, while our younger children loved the textural sensory experience!

24.01.2022 Developing early numeracy skills is a fundamental component of early childhood education. This activity focuses on number recognition, pattern repetition and ordering. Building learning confidence at a young age promotes a love of learning and encourages your little one to become a life long learner!

23.01.2022 Some sensory spaghetti painting fun today! Using different mediums encourages children to expand their comfort zones and provides an opportunity build on their creativity

21.01.2022 Today the children explored our frog themed small world experience. Small world play encourages a wide range of language skills including building vocabulary and understanding concepts. Positional language will often be a factor in this type of play, as the children move things in, on, under and over objects.

20.01.2022 We are currently have a limited number of places available! We offer quality affordable care, in a nurturing, stimulating environment that caters for children from 6 weeks of age.

You are able to stay up to date with what your child is ...experiencing via our state of the art digital programming platform that allows you as parents to engage with the program we are offering your children. Here are a few words from some of our current parents: Lisa is one of a kind. We have utmost trust that we can drop Harrison off in the morning & when you pick him up you are guaranteed to see him with a huge smile on his face. The care & love Harrison receives puts our minds at ease knowing that he is looked after & he is learning whilst he is there. Harrison has the best time at Lisa’s & we are so lucky to have her! - Rachel As soon as I met Lisa and Anita, I knew that my children would be in the best possible care. They love our children just as much as we do, and it's such a blessing to have found someone who is so focused on ensuring that the next generation will be well-mannered, well-adjusted, polite and empathic people. We are so grateful for them. - Julia My son Arlington has been attending Lisa's family day care for over 3years. We decided to send Arlington to Lisa as we were looking for a home away from home feel where he would be able to create a strong bond with one carer. Lisa provides a caring, nurturing and homely environment as a qualified and passionate educator. We see this everyday when Arlington comes home happy with many stories to tell us of his adventures that day. - Nicole For over two years now, Lisa and Anita have been the trusted careers for our son Ashton. From the moment we met them we knew that they were going to be the perfect fit to provide Ashton with a loving and structured environment full of fun learning. The care and love that Ashton receives from Lisa and Anita second to none and the smile on his face when they pick him up of a morning says it all. He is always super excited to start his day full of adventures with his friends. The values and standards that Lisa and Anita focus on are the same as we value as a family and we feel extremely that Ashton is able to receive this high level of care and learning from them in a homely environment. - Shay-Lee If you have any questions, or you are looking for quality care, please feel free to message us with your enquiry!

19.01.2022 Creating simple science based activities will hopefully help to inspire curiosity and wonder in the world around them

19.01.2022 Dino stomp stomp stomp!Outside this morning the children were busy making dinosaur tracks. Using their developing fine motor skills, they manipulated the dinosaurs to ‘walk’ across the paper. This was also a great opportunity to have some fun with colour recognition!

19.01.2022 Some Father’s Day preparation underway today!

18.01.2022 Is there anything better than picking your own fruit?! Today we went on an excursion to our local strawberry farm to see how they grow, do a little strawberry picking and of course eat lots and lots of strawberries!

18.01.2022 When we speak of ‘early childhood education’ we can sometimes focus on traditional academic aspects of education. Numbers, letters, colours etc. While learning these skills is vital for our little ones, creating bonds with their peers, families, educators and communities is equally important. Through this process of connecting, children build confidence and compassion, the ability to express their feelings and maintain their emotional wellness!

17.01.2022 Exploring new environments with curiosity and enthusiasm is a skill that should never be lost!

16.01.2022 Bubbles bubbles everywhere! Some things never change, and one of those things is how much joy bubble blowing and catching brings!

14.01.2022 Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads between people, usually when a sick person coughs or sneezes. We all have an important role to play in protecting ourselves and those around us. Follow our guide below

11.01.2022 Ordering and positioning (top,middle, bottom etc) activities for young children assist in developing early mathematical skills and language. Incorporating the children’s current interests helps to keep them engaged in and excited about the activity!

11.01.2022 Today we explored the concept of positional language as part of our farm interest. The children were asked to place a sheep under the tree, next to the barn and on the bale of hay. Gaining confidence with the concept of positioning, and the language used, is a skill that children will be able to apply to many aspects of their learning and everyday experiences.

10.01.2022 Playdough, an age old favourite, provides so many learning opportunities for children. It encourages language and communication development, fine motor skills, creativity, imagination and social skills.

08.01.2022 Painting with a twist today! We placed tennis balls in stockings which the children then dipped in paint. Using a swinging motion they were able to transfer the paint to the paper! Expanding the children’s interests and making available non conventional mediums, allows the opportunity to make fun new discoveries!

07.01.2022 During this time of uncertainty we would like to assure you that we are doing all we can to limit exposure and keep your little ones safe! We have just completed this infection control training and will continue our high standards of hygiene!

04.01.2022 There was not a lot of winter to be seen today, and we took advantage of this gorgeous weather with some outside easel painting!

03.01.2022 There was some serious fun to be had today! The children used vinegar in droppers to dissolve the bicarb eggs to reveal the dinosaur inside!

03.01.2022 We are back after our break and excited to start the new year! We are welcoming some new friends and welcoming back our old ones We look forward to sharing our adventures with you in the coming year

03.01.2022 We enjoyed fantastic morning at Flying High Bird Sanctuary this week. The children were fascinated by all the different colours! Exploring our local attractions allows the children to develop their confidence in new environments and offers them the opportunity to engage with new experiences.

01.01.2022 Today we offered the children a simple counting activity. Firstly, they chose their favourite flowers and then we counted them together as they glued them on to their paper to create a beautiful vase of flowers! Counting out loud is a great way to build children’s mathematical language skills, and that in turn forms the foundations of future learning.

01.01.2022 This week we celebrated ‘Educators Day’! This was a lovely opportunity to celebrate educators of all types in our community. We are extremely blessed to have wonderful FDC families that ensure we always feel valued
