Linslade Childcare first opened in 2000. We are based within Linslade Lower School but have our own facilities and run independently. We have a highly qualified team of staff who are dedicated to the children’s wellbeing and educational needs.
We are registered with Ofsted, from which we have received a GOOD report with outstanding features. (Copies are available on request). We are a privately owned Company and a family run business, we currently have 3 generations either working or attending childcare.
We offer a safe stimulating caring environment and work with the children, parents and carers to provide strong foundations for a happy and successful future. Our setting operates an open door policy, which enables parents to have immediate daily contact with their child and key person.
By laying the foundations for children to develop, giving opportunities to realise their own potential, through varied and stimulating activities, they will become confident, caring children able to take on new challenges.
