About us

Here at Dot to Dots Daycare we offer detailed, efficient and qualified care for your child. Whilst the emphasis is on relaxed enjoyment and learning within a secure environment we do in fact follow strictly recognised frameworks to ensure that your child progresses through each phase successfully. In order to achieve this there is a fairly detailed programme of session periods, fees, what is covered during each phase of development etc; all of which is covered in our Information Booklet which is freely available. In addition we must emphasise how much we welcome your initial enquiry and your subsequent visit to judge for yourself the quality of care, play and education administered at Dot to Dots Daycare.
