Children & Childcare

"Parents are the bones on which children sharpen their teeth" - Peter Ustinov

Entrusting your child into the care of a stranger is a big step so we always verify the credentials of anyone advertising here with official sources.  We want you to be confident that they meet the legal requirements but before you choose childcare you may wish to do some research of your own.  Start with the information at the bottom of this page regarding the legal requirements and satisfy yourself that your choice of childcare is appropriate.  For security reasons we do not publish address details of advertisers unless specifically requested, so please contact the advertiser for more information.  (Click a picture to enlarge it)


The Mud Pie Club

Child heaven!  Come along and let your kids explore the world of messy play, have lots of fun, then simply leave us to clear up afterwards - Parent heaven! 

Our "Launch Party" on Friday 7th November 2008 was well attended and we'd like to thank everyone who came to join in the fun.  We look forward to seeing you every Friday and bring some friends.  It's wonderfully messy!

We start at 9.15am to 10.15am for children aged 6 months to 18 months - then at 10.45am to 11.45am for children aged from 18 months to 3 years. 

The cost is only £3.75 per child with a party balloon for every child who attends but places are strictly limited so book early to avoid disappointment.  We look forward to seeing you and a friendly welcome awaits you and your youngsters.

Miss Amy Staples

OFSTED Registered childminder in East Leake providing day care for children aged 6 weeks to 10 years old.  My OFSTED registration certificate is available to view by request and a copy of the OFSTED inspection report will be given if requested

Amy is warm, caring, creative and most importantly provides a safe and fun environment with a range of activities, learning & exploring opportunities for your child.  Her experience spans more than ten years in both nursery school and crèche settings with the added reassurance that she is qualified in paediatric first aid.  Her rates are competitive but her standard of care is never compromised, which is hardly surprising since it is also her vocation, not merely a livelihood.

Available weekdays all year round.  Weekends can also be arranged and if you work unsociable hours this may be something with which Amy can help.

Available for full time or part time, school runs, before & after school, late evenings, weekends and casual minding. 

For an informal discussion and an information pack please contact Amy directly on:

Childcare Regulations

All childminders and day-care providers including playgroups, pre-schools, private nurseries, crèches and out-of-school clubs for under eights, must be registered by Ofsted Early Years.  Registration includes a criminal records check on anyone involved in providing childcare and an inspection of the premises to look at health and safety and educational welfare issues.

You can check that the childcare provider is registered by asking to see a registration certificate, or by contacting OFSTED.  If you have any doubts about a provider, check with your local Families Information Service (FIS).  You can get the number of your nearest FIS by calling 0800 234 6346

In England, childcare for children aged eight and over, or care for children of any age that is based around one or two activities, or is provided in the child's home (eg nannies), does not have to be registered by OFSTED and a home babysitter for example falls outside the scope of OFSTED.   Nevertheless, if the provider meets the requirements and wishes to register on the voluntary part of the OFSTED Childcare Register it can do so, unless the childcare is provided directly by a school.
