Before School
What we offer
Quality Services
Hi, I’m Alice and I offer before-school childcare services designed to make mornings stress-free for both you and your child. With over 10 years of experience in childcare and certifications in first aid and safeguarding, I’m committed to providing a safe, supportive, and calm environment that helps kids start their day off right.
Whether you need early drop-off or help with getting your child to the bus stop or school on time, I’m here to assist. I offer healthy breakfast options, quiet activities, and support with school prep to ensure your child is ready for their day. I take pride in providing personalized care that meets the unique needs of each child while keeping parents updated on how their morning went.
With Our before-school service, we provides care and supervision for children in the early hours before school begins. This service is especially helpful for working parents who need to drop off their children early. Here’s an overview of what a before-school child minder typically does:
- Supervise Children Before School
- Safe Environment: Ensure children are in a safe, secure setting before they head off to school.
- Supervision: Keep a close eye on children, making sure they are safe and behaving appropriately while in your care.
- Assist with Morning Routines: Help children with their morning routines, including finishing breakfast, packing their bags, and preparing for the school day.
- Serve Breakfast or Snacks
- Healthy Meal: Some child minders provide a nutritious breakfast or snacks, depending on the timing, to ensure children are well-fed before starting their day.
- Allergies and Dietary Restrictions: Be aware of and accommodate any dietary needs or allergies the children might have.

- Walking or Driving to School: If part of the service, the child minder may be responsible for walking children to school or driving them, ensuring they arrive on time and safely.
- Drop-Off at Bus Stop: If children take the school bus, the minder may be responsible for making sure they get to the bus stop on time and safely.
- Support Emotional Well-Being

- Ease Separation Anxiety: Help children, especially younger ones, feel more comfortable about going to school, especially if they are anxious or nervous.
- Communication with Parents
- Daily Updates: Inform parents about any important events or concerns that occurred during the morning, including behavioral issues, injuries, or anything related to school prep.
- Flexible Drop-Off Times: Work with parents’ schedules to offer flexible drop-off times that meet their needs.
