Welcome to Barnes Day Care
Accepting children from the age of 10 months
Barnes Day Care provides high quality childcare for babies and children in a welcoming homely environment with a feeling of a big family combined with the benefits of a day care. Children learn through play, songs, games, conversation and exciting weekly topics. They are looked after by experienced teachers, so parents can return to work confident that their children are getting first class care.
The EYFS is followed closely and children learn with confidence in a safe secure environment. Parents receive feedback about their children in the form of a diary and also through reports and photographs. We are Ofsted registered and staff hold paediatric first aid certificates. Children are looked after with great care and receive three nutritionally balanced meals every day. Nappies, creams and meals are included in the daily fee.
"At Barnes Day Care we are a family and a day care in one. We focus on building the children's confidence and I'm proud to say that nothing is too much trouble for our wonderful staff. Our aim is to nurture happy, polite, well rounded children who are ready for primary school when they leave us."
