Welcome to Funky Monkeys Childminding Services

 
Hello, our names are Marika, Stacey and Liz, and we trade under the childminding business name of ‘Funky Monkeys’. We all have our own children, ranging in ages from under 2 to 19 years old. We work from Stacey’s home, which is a non-smoking household. Collectively, we have over 30 years of experience in the childcare sector. Our previous experiences of working with children include childminding, sessional pre-school, day nursery, Sunday school teacher, Girl Guide Leader, crèche, after-school club worker and evening babysitter.

We are individually registered and inspected by Ofsted and we are able to register with your childcare voucher companies. We carry public liability insurance, our cars are insured for business use and we hold full clean driving licences.

We offer a wide range of play activities including books, puzzles, board games, electronic games console, play-doh, drawing/painting/sticking, water and outdoor play, dressing up, cooking, and role-playing. We will provide aprons for messy work. TV and video/DVD are available but restricted to suitable programmes. Different toys and games will be introduced dependant on age and developmental stage. Children are encouraged to choose their own activities during the day.

We have a garden where children can play with toy cars, scooters, skates, balls, Connect 4 and large physical apparatus. During the summer, the children will be painting, reading or playing with water outside. Also, we may eat lunch or snacks at the garden table or on the picnic mat. Visits to the park, shops and library form part of our daily activities and are all excellent for young children to enjoy and develop. We attend trips with other local childminders and in the school holidays, we will go on outings to castles, beaches and parks further afield.
