Our childcare services
Familiar care as children grow
Tiny Treasures provides early years childcare, after-school care and school holiday care from our family home in Crofton.
The hours and shape of the day change as children get older, but the important things stay the same: a small group, familiar adults, good food, plenty of time outdoors and care that feels part of ordinary family life.
One home.
Three kinds of care.
Finding the care you need
Start with your child’s age and when you need us.
Some families need regular care throughout the working day. Others need a safe place after school or help covering selected days in the school holidays.
You do not need to work out every detail before contacting us. Tell us your child’s age, the days and hours you need and your preferred start date. We will explain which service fits, check our availability and answer your questions honestly.
Early years childcare
Small-group care from birth to four
Full- and part-time childcare with the same familiar adults, flexible routines and plenty of room to become absorbed in play.
Children spend their days at home, outdoors and visiting local places. The EYFS guides what we notice and support, but learning is woven into stories, conversations, mealtimes, outings, growing, making and play.
- AgeBirth to four years old
- WhenMonday–Thursday, 8:00am–6:00pm
- BookingRegular full- or part-time contracted hours
- Cost£7 per hour; funded care available for eligible children
After-school club
A calm place to land after school
We collect children from Crofton Infants and care for them in our family home until 6:00pm.
School days can be full of noise, instructions and activity. Children can have something to eat, talk about their day, get outdoors, play or choose something quiet. We do not try to turn the afternoon into another classroom.

Care from Adrienne and Paul
Children are cared for by the same husband-and-wife childminding team in a small, familiar group.
Independence, nature and kindness
These values shape the choices children are given, the time we spend outdoors and the way we help children live alongside one another.
Food and everyday essentials included
Meals, snacks, drinks, activities, suitable outings and the everyday items children need while they are with us are included in the hourly fee.
