Childminding

West Worthing Childcare provides high quality care for young people drawing inspiration from the Reggio Emilia approach. We are registered to care for 3 children under the age of 5 and 6 children in total under 8 years of age. Our home based setting is conveniently situated close to Tarring Park, 10 minutes walk away from West Worthing station and within walking distance of the beach.


PHILOSOPHY & APPROACH

West Worthing Childcare is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Children are seen as strong, powerful and competent individuals, holding their own values, being worthy of respect as well as being respectful towards others. We encourage children to develop their own theories about the world and great value is placed upon the ideas and opinions they express. Young people are free to choose how they spend their time and indoor and outside learning environments are both available for use.

In Reggio education there is no pre-determined early years curriculum. We aim to facilitate a self-directed style of learning by nurturing children's innate curiosity and creativity. At West Worthing Childcare we genuinely believe that children learn best when they are encouraged to be active participants in their own journey of discovery. This is achieved by providing a wide range of experiences which stimulate imagination, exploration, and children’s creative endeavours.

At West Worthing Childcare we work in accordance with the EYFS providing all the benefits of a nursery in a home environment. We strive to get to know each child individually and build the bonds which lead to secure attachment relationships.


Partnership with parents

We deeply respect the role that parents play as primary educators and the most enduring care givers in their children’s life. At West Worthing Childcare we want to develop a close relationship with you so we can ensure we are truly meeting your child and your family's needs. We welcome the exchange of information and open communication so we always make time to talk at the beginning and end of each day.

When you are considering the various childcare options available it is vital to ensure that potential providers are on the same wavelength as you. West Worthing Childcare is especially well suited to families who follow a gentle, attachment parenting approach. Ideally you will visit a number of settings before making your final choice.
