We pride ourselves on providing an approachable, friendly and professional service for all. We realise the importance of helping children to settle and understand that parents/carers must feel comfortable leaving their children. We encourage parents/carers to stay during settling in periods and are happy to move at both theirs and the child’s pace during this time. We want every child’s transition into Monkton Under Fives to be a positive experience.

We are a small, village-based, committee led setting, with parents making up at least 60% of the trustees. Everything we do is for your children, and who better to oversee the quality of childcare but the parents themselves. As a charity, any additional money raised through our various charitable events goes directly back into the setting to continue to enhance the learning experience of every child.

All our staff are highly trained and experienced. There is a maximum of 12 children to 3 members of staff per session to ensure every child is nurtured and cared for. We understand that each child’s needs are unique and ensure every child is supported in achieving their potential through the Early Years journey of discovery.
