Our Services
We are two childminders that work together just a short walk from Marlow town . We specialise in Early years childcare for children from 0 - 5 years and also school wraparound care and holiday care too covering ages 5-11 years.
The schools we work alongside are:
Teatimers, Stepping Stones and Jack and Jills Preschools
Marlow Church of England (Sandygate), Holy Trinity and Foxes Piece Infant and Junior Schools
We welcome all children into our setting to be loved and cared for in an environment that is both stimulating and educational. We promote child led learning through play and work to the EYFS guidelines to promote early years development and support.
Our setting is spacious and vibrant with a warm home from home feel . There is plenty to do for all ages inside and out. We have equipment readily available for the children to access and we are vigilant about working in clean safe surroundings.
Marlow offers so many clubs and sessions for early years children that we are lucky to take advantage of and use to keep the children stimulated and socialised within the community and also have strong childminding connections with our colleagues locally.
Early Years Childcare
Early Years
Utopitots Childcare works to the EYFS Prime Areas using the 7 key areas of learning:
Personal, Social and Emotional
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Maths
Literacy
Technology
Understanding the World
We track the children in these areas and look to how we can help them reach their next steps and targets for their early years development.
We care for a small group of early years children in the daytime ages from 0-5years. We play, create, explore, develop and nurture as they learn within the setting. We also go on exciting outings and trips regularly and get to know our local area.
We have friends within the Marlow toddler groups and local soft plays where we can make use of a range of different equipment, toys and facilities. The children can expand their friendships and make use of new surroundings. We also get support from other local childminders, mums, dads, and childcare professionals/volunteers too.
Utopitots takes and collects children from local preschools within Marlow and offers wraparound care to school aged children.
Eating together is fun for the children and we have an extra-large table for them to enjoy these social times and encourage a healthy balanced diet.
Utopitots Childcare aims to support all our parents by growing strong bonds and friendships with them throughout their children’s EYFS development journey.
School Holiday Care
We offer holiday care for 0-11yrs over select weeks of the holidays. We visit country parks, nature trails, manor houses, woodland walks and adventure playgrounds having picnics together and exploring outdoor spaces. In our setting we have theme led activities over the holidays and engage in arts and crafts, role play and creative toys.
School Wraparound Services
Utopitots Childcare offers wraparound before and after school care to children 4-11years. We promote walking to school and being kind to the environment. Back at our setting we offer a wide range of creative and educational activities along with areas where the children can relax and unwind. At mealtimes we encourage healthy eating and provide a fun social space for them to interact with their peers. We are not able to offer one to one homework support but we can provide a quite place for your child to engage in their work and are here to help if needed.
