We provide more information about our Day Care Nursery and childcare services we provide, answering any questions or concerns you have. We fill out forms and record important information to prepare for a smooth ‘settling in’ period.
‘Settling in’ visits and introductory sessions last approximately 1-2 hours. Two of these sessions will be provided free of charge over a one-week period. ‘Settling in’ sessions are dependent on individual needs, age and stage of development. For those children who take a long time to settle, we will develop a plan that will work for the child and you.

We make that extra effort to get to know your child in the place where they feel most comfortable, HOME.

To establish a relationship with your child so that they recognise us and feel assured by ‘friendly faces’ when they start at Little Limes.

We recognise parents as first educators who know their child better than anyone. We want parents to get to know us in an informal way where vital information can be shared for us to provide the best level of childcare.
We believe that a “healthy tummy provides healthy mind”. It is important that children learn to always eat well-balanced food and a variety of flavours from a very young age when eating habits are formed. With this in mind, we try and provide organic food wherever possible. It is also important that we give enough opportunities for them to eat all types of food. For example, traditional Chinese, Thai, Asian, Sri Lankan, European, African and American dishes.
We provide all meals and snacks to children. These are included in the fee. Children will enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner with snacks, milk and drinks. Children are encouraged to drink water throughout the day.
Children will participate in setting up tables for meal and helping to clear away afterwards. This allows them to be responsible and gives them the feel of a homely environment. Children will sometimes be involved in helping to prepare their lunch and dinner, for example, washing vegetables and mixing / weighing ingredients. We incorporate their learning through simple activities and a hands-on approach.
We will provide many opportunities for families to get involved and collaborate with staff to continue providing a quality day care. For example, we involve parents in activities when time permits. We encourage parents to give feedback on a regular basis, make short visits to Little Limes to do “story times” or talk about their culture, their profession, and share their skills so that children feel proud of their parents. Of course, we understand that this isn’t always possible with work commitments, but we welcome those parents who are happy and able to get involved.
