Crèche / Parent & Toddler Groups
Childcare Information Service for Peterborough
Below is an A-Z list of crèche / parent & toddler
groups. If you are unable to find your
preferred childcare you may wish to contact the Childcare
Information Service (CIS). The CIS holds details of all
registered early years education and childcare in the area and
offer confidential, impartial and free information to all
members of the public.
Their freephone helpline is open between 8.30am and 5.30pm
Monday to Friday (with an answerphone service out of hours).
The service is also available by post, fax, email and internet via
the local website www.opportunity-links.org.uk
Crèches
A crèche is a facility that provides occasional
care for children under eight and are provided on particular
premises on more than five days a year. They
need to be registered where they run for more than 2 hours a day,
even where individual children attend for shorter
periods. Some are in permanent premises
and care for children while parents are engaged in particular
activities, eg, shopping or sport. Others are
established on a temporary basis to care for children while
their parents are involved in time-limited activities, eg, a
conference or exhibition.
Parent and Toddler Groups
A parent and toddler pre-school represents a new and important
step in the lives of parents and children.
Parents remain with and are responsible for their children
throughout the session. Parent and toddler
pre-schools can give adults a chance to share both the pleasures
and the anxieties of child rearing.
Parent and toddler pre-schools offer:
- a place to go, where both adults and children are welcome;
- company, for both children and adults;
- an opportunity for parents to be with their children without being distracted by household chores;
- time and space for children to learn through satisfying play, perhaps with more equipment than can be provided at home;
- the chance for parents to compare notes with others doing the same job;
- opportunities for both adults and children to learn by observing and adsorbing new practices and ideas;
- access to other community resources;
- the beginning of friendships which may last long beyond parent and toddler pre-school days.
NB: As this type of provision is not registered with Ofsted this list is changeable.
