My background consists of a myriad of experiences including caring for adults with Downs Syndrome and working with young people in a custodial setting. My experience of working with challenging behaviour has taught me that children need love, someone to listen to them without making judgements and constant support through education. This is the basis of Precious Peanuts. All children are treated as individuals and their unique needs are recognised and nurtured. I hold a degree in Psychology and this has given me a greater understanding of how children learn through play, which aides development both physically and socially. All activities are adapted to suit the age of your child and a topic based theme runs each week using letters of the alphabet.
Precious Peanuts offers a safe, nurturing environment where your child will get the attention and care that he or she needs. My name is Hayley McAuley and I am the sole childminder at Precious Peanuts. I have completed the Level 3 Diploma in Home Based Childcare , which enables me to offer the funded places for children aged 2 (criteria dependent), 3 and 4 (available for all children).
