Beeches Child Care Shirwell

Welcome to our unique Childcare setting in the beautiful North Devon Countryside. Have you seen us out in our local community ? We have 3 regular weekly trips away from our lovely setting. These help our/your children to understand the world around them.

Beeches is located in the village of Shirwell just a short drive from Barnstaple. With plenty of parking for parents and carers to deliver and collect their children. We also offer a School delivery and collection service. If you are unable to drive, we can discuss a 'door to door collection service'

Beeches Childcare outing to Blakewell Fisheries, Muddiford Nr Barnstaple. 'We all caught a lovely fish, infact we were such good fishermen we filled the bucket and took them home and shared them for our tea'

We enjoy being outside what ever the weather. Mark making should not just be on paper.

We enjoy the private garden at Beeches to learn and explore with our friends. Beeches have tame Ducks, Chickens, Rabbits and a family dog. We love to feed and help look after them.

On nice sunny days we have picnics or lunch in the garden. We like to explore with water, sand and soil and enjoy growing our own vegetables.

Playing and learning together and NOT having separate rooms for different ages, helps us develop our 'sharing and caring skills' Very strong bonds and friendships develop with each other and the ladies who care for us. With a WORKING RATIO OF 1 : 3 Children at Beeches thrive in our home based learning environment.

We care for children from 2 months and can offer 'family care packages' for siblings. Here at Beeches we value the relationship between family home and setting. We actively support both parents and children. We all highly respect your family privacy .

Regular termly visits to Rosemoor Gardens. We always come prepared for rain or shine and keep safe with all our friends.

Another wonderful adventure, with the 'King of the woods' at Rosemoor gardens, Torrington .
