Welcome to Greenfields Childcare
supporting people in the Dalton Ward
Greenfields Childcare was registered in 2002 (previously known as Grasshoppers Pre-school and Dalton Out of School Club). It is a charity run by a voluntary committee. The setting operates from Greenfields Family Centre, a purpose built single storey detached building. The setting serves the needs of pupils attending Dalton School and St Joseph’s school and local schools for children with additional needs. We also take children into pre-school from the local area. Intake for holiday play scheme is extended to any child. Greenfields Childcare aims to make itself accessible to children and families from all sections of the local community.
Vision
Our children are our curriculum
Our vision is to provide a happy and secure environment where children are supported and encouraged to meet their full potential through a child centred, diverse and exciting curriculum delivered by a highly qualified and dedicated staff team.
Mission Statement
The staff at Greenfields Childcare are dedicated in supporting each child and their family, offering encouragement and a welcoming attitude at all times.
At Greenfields Childcare we believe that the best way to support children in their learning and development is through co-operative partnerships between parents/carers and staff.
Greenfields Childcare endeavours to meet the above statement in the following ways:-
- By having a comprehensive dossier of Policies and Procedures in place, many of which are adopted from the Pre-school Learning Alliance’s “Policies for Early Years Settings (produced in consultation with Ofsted)” and “Out of School Club Alliance” and are evaluated and/or updated annually.
- By on-going information sharing with parents/carers and relevant outside agencies.
- By having effective planning, record keeping and monitoring systems in place
PRE-SCHOOL
Greenfields Childcare Pre-school exists to provide a safe, affordable and developmentally appropriate environment for children aged from 2 years to 5 years old.
