The Barn Childcare - Fairfield

The Barn Childcare provides high quality childcare from birth. The setting consists of 4 spacious rooms full of high quality 'natural' resources and a sensory room. In addition to this is a secure garden complete with a mini-beasts motel, sheltered sandpit, mud kitchen, musical corner, chill-out/reading shed, and a fire pit. We follow the Scandinavian ethos of forest schooling so the children spend most of their time outdoors in the fresh air. 'The Barn' offers a unique experience with outstanding facilities and staff, focusing on child initiated learning. The Barn has a highly qualified practitioner with over 22 years' experience in childcare as a level 4 in Autism and Complex needs and a level 4 in children's mental health and wellbeing. All staff are qualified to or working towards a minimum of Level 3 with additional training in speech, language and SEN. We have a member of staff who delivers yoga, mindfulness sessions and speech and lang interventions.
