Choosing childcare is one of the most important decisions that a parent/carer will make. You will want to feel confident with your choice and know your child is in an environment that provides stimulating play, focuses on the importance of your child's individuality, promotes inclusion and understands the needs of young children.
The early months and years of a child's life are the most significant, a time when children's earliest experiences play a part in shaping their future. Here at Staffordshire Moorlands Children's Centre we provide an environment which will give all children opportunities to develop with confidence, form relationships and communicate, through a combination of care, affection and learning in safe and secure surroundings.
We offer full day care and education to children from 0 - 5 years with fully qualified staff. At our centre we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and aim to ensure smooth transition from the Centre to our local schools.
