History

Originally Ready Steady Play catered for a total of 35 children made up of two areas, one for under 2 year olds and another for over 2 year olds. However, as Educators we soon discovered this doesn’t provide an environment that allows for the difference in the children’s developmental stages, for example, a 6 month old baby and a 20 month old and likewise with a 2 year old and 4 year old. In 2004 we were able to extend the building which has provided the opportunity of having four separate areas. They are as follows:

23 (younger) Over Twos 12 (older) Over Twos 12 (older) Babies and 6 over Twos 12 Babies Being able to operate four separate areas provides the opportunity to plan more effectively for the children’s individual needs. Making Ready Steady Play unique among other childcare providers and also promoting our vision of providing high quality care for babies and children.
