Introducing Grow Happy Childcare:
Where Your Child's Happiness & Development Thrive
Dear Parents,
Allow me to introduce you to Dee Mac Childcare Limited, trading as Grow Happy Childcare. Since September 2005, we've been proudly serving the Tameside community, offering exceptional out-of-school childcare services. As the founder, I established Grow Happy Childcare out of a personal need for childcare that not only met my standards but also aligned with my work schedule. Recognising that many others faced similar challenges, I was inspired to create a nurturing environment where children could thrive while providing parents with the peace of mind they deserve.
At Grow Happy Childcare, we extend the values and learning principles of local schools into our out-of-school clubs and nursery settings. Our mission is simple: to offer a safe, caring, and enjoyable environment where children can play, learn, and grow. We pride ourselves on maintaining exceptionally high standards in a fun and friendly atmosphere. Through close collaboration with regulatory bodies such as OFSTED, Tameside GROW, local schools, and parents, we ensure that our services meet and exceed expectations.
Our Goals
Our primary goal is to facilitate holistic child development through positive social, physical, intellectual, creative, and emotional play. We provide a stable and secure environment where parents can confidently leave their children, knowing they'll not only be cared for but will also have fun and meet new friends.
Out-of-School Clubs
At our out-of-school clubs, we offer structured activities including homework assistance, with staff trained in key literacy and math skills. During dry weather, we organise outdoor activities such as park picnics, walks, and visits to local amenities, ensuring a diverse and engaging experience for every child. During holidays, we provide nutritious meals and snacks, with options catering to children's preferences and dietary needs. Our outings include full picnic provisions, ensuring that every child is well-fed and energised for their adventures.
In addition to our out-of-school services, Grow Happy Childcare proudly offers full-day nursery services and wrap-around care for local nursery schools. Our nursery environment is designed to foster your child's growth and development in a nurturing and child-centred setting. Our dedicated staff members bring a wealth of experience and qualifications to their roles, including NVQ 2 & 3 certifications in childcare. Personally, I hold a Foundation degree in Early Years Childcare and a BA Hons in Early Years and Childcare. All staff members are certified in First Aid and Food Hygiene, and we prioritise ongoing training and skill development to uphold our commitment to excellence.
