Carmel’s House is a small, welcoming childcare setting where every child is valued as a unique individual. Our smaller numbers allow children to develop and grow at their own pace, helping their personalities, character and sense of identity flourish in a safe, happy home-from-home environment.

​

We encourage group play to help children build confidence and develop skills that prepare them for preschool, nursery and school. Children can enjoy a wide range of activities, including movies, computer games, dressing up, role play, quizzes, talent shows and arts and crafts. With fewer children in our care, we can spend more time with each child and respond more closely to their individual needs.

​

Children also enjoy time outdoors in our small, supervised play area, with an enclosed space where younger children can play safely. Activities are age-appropriate, and school-age children have the opportunity to work on homework or projects after school. We also hold regular baking sessions, where children can join in making muffins, cookies and bread. Meals and snacks, from breakfast to dinner, are prepared in our kitchen using locally sourced ingredients.

​

Every child at Carmel’s House is special to us, and we celebrate each birthday with a party for everyone to enjoy. We are proud of all the children who have been part of our setting over the years and of the confident, unique young people they have grown into, ready to take on the world.
