Early years childcare

Under 2s, rising 3s & preschool

Here at the Opportunity Centre we are delighted to offer childcare for children from 3 months to 5 years. We are passionate about giving each child the best start during their early years and work hard to ensure all children are safe and happy in our care. Our three areas of childcare are: Under 2s, Rising 3s and Preschool.

Snack & lunchtime

Snack time and lunchtime at the Opportunity Centre offer a chance for the children to be together. It is proven that we all eat better together. The children are seated around a table, providing time for them to connect with each other. As well as focusing on food, we focus on each other and enjoy the positive time and company that this provides.

Early years foundation stage (EYFS)

The Early Years Foundation Stage 2021 ( EYFS ) sets standards for the learning, development and care of your child from birth to 5 years old. At the Opportunity Centre, it is at the heart of everything we do. With this guidance we move towards the next steps of development for our children, allowing them to develop at their own pace and from their own interests.

Supporting the community

Our help extends to the whole family and community, through support groups – like Stay & Play and Nurture – and workshops.

We understand that families may not be ready to come to the Centre for support. If you are in need of advice or support and would like a home visit to discuss, please get in touch.

Forest School

Forest School is a unique learning opportunity for the children here at the Opportunity Centre. It is an ethos that focuses on learning from nature. Play is developed in natural surroundings and environmental consciousness is encouraged in all children.

Transition to school

As your child turns 4, it’s time to think about them heading off to primary school. We help your child get for ready for their transition to school. During the summer term at the Opportunity Centre, we focus more on the social skills that will prepare them for their next steps.
