Babies (birth -1)

Little Ones aged birth -1

At this delicate age, we make sure we know them really well and understand their wants and needs. We hold and handle babies, since sensitive touch helps to build security and attachment. We Engage in playful interactions that encourage young babies to respond to, or mimic, adults. We follow the baby’s lead by repeating noises they make, mirroring movements and showing the baby that we are listening. We take notice when babies turn away, signalling their need for less stimulation, and use the copying games from parents as the basis for their play.

Toddlers (1-3)

Little Ones aged 1-3

We talk with toddlers about special people, such as their family members, e.g. grandparents, siblings etc. Toddlers are active little people who are naturally curious and love to explore. They need to be provided with lots of exciting activities to help develop their attention and concentration. They are developing their speaking and listening skills and need good, well spoken role models to learn from. Toddlers are notoriously known to push boundaries at this stage and need loving supportive adults to help manage their feelings.

Pre schoolers (3-4)

Little Ones aged 3-4

We ensure that children of this age have lots of opportunities to join in activities and conversations. We give children endless open-ended play opportunities to develop their creativity and imagination. We help them to recognise and understand the rules for being together with others, such as waiting for a turn and talking about feelings of being sad, happy or cross. We model ways of interacting positively with others and comforting or helping them. The children are encouraged to listen out for discreet sounds and have fun with language through songs, poems and stories which will later help them with reading and writing when they go to school.

After Schoolers

We have some very busy young people whose parents can sometimes be working long hours or shift work, making it very hard for them to properly look after their children after school time. Our After a long hard day at school, children need somewhere to relax, have a bite to eat, chat about their day and get some help with their homework or reading. Family dining is encouraged and children help to set the table and clear up afterwards. After school snack/mealtime is a social time where children get to hear stories about each other’s schools and classes. Children have access to the outdoor area; we go on walks and there are lots of books and board games available to keep them engaged until they go home.

Fantastic Family Home – My 2 children have been attending here since April 2018, they settled in amazingly it’s a home from home environment with lots of activities. They even have a converted play room they love this! There is always a fresh meal made with plenty of choices too. It’s clean and welcoming and I am always informed throughout the day of updates which, as a working mother I love knowing what they are up too!

Professional with highest standard of care – Aalya is professional and provides the highest standards of care, amazingly flexible, open and very honest. I am really pleased to say that we were lucky to find her. I liked that during school holidays daughter attended many new places and playgrounds. I definitely can recommend Little Ones.

Excellent overall childcare service – I have been with Aalya for more than a year now and I have had a very good experience with her. She is very warm and loving. My boys love going to their ‘Aunty’ and she looks after me as well. Her setting is always neat and tidy there fore hygiene is not a concern. If you need someone to trust with your children, Aalya Rehman comes highly recommended from me, and trust me, I can be fussy. But with Aalya, I don’t have any need or reason to.

Amazing childminders – My son started attending in January 2019 from the age of 2. I was very worried about how he would settle in but my son settled in immediately on day 1.. Aaliyah has an amazing attitude towards the kids which makes them excited about attending everyday.. fantastic childcare. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely Fantastic!! My daughter has been attending ‘ Little Ones’ since September 2019 and she absolutely loves going. There are a range of activities planned and booked in advance and this makes it all the more fun and exciting. At the same time my daughter gets to experience going to different environments and exploring the surroundings.
