Overview
If you’re looking for a “home from home” childcare setting in Crewe then look no further!
A team of experienced carers (all of which are trained in first aid) look after babies, toddlers, and pre-school aged children. It is our aim to create a friendly, safe, homely and welcoming environment for you and your child.
At ABC, our heart is set on creating a home-away-from-home for your little ones. A place where they can feel not just safe and secure, but truly cherished. We want to be your trusted partner in this journey of raising happy, curious children. We strive to create an environment that mirrors the love and warmth of your own home, and stimulates their young minds for learning and growth. You can rest assured, we’re here for you, and we’re here for them, every step of the way.
What we offer at The House and Play Space
We’re more than just a Childcare – we’re a home-away-from-home where curiosity is cultivated and creativity flourishes. We’re a team of nurturing experts devoted to supporting each child’s unique journey, fostering a sense of wonder and exploration. From fun-filled activities to heart-warming smiles and meaningful connections, we’re committed to creating a thriving community where every child feels valued and inspired. So, come along and join our family, as we make the early years count together.
Our service is unique and personal with lots of social interaction, communication and physical development being emphasised through the activities we offer. Your child will experience homely accessories, wooden toys, cosy corners, heuristic resources and treasure baskets, baking and yoga sessions during their time with us. We value the importance of outdoor play and fresh air. We have access to a farmhouse garden to grow food and plants.
The children love to watch pumpkins, sunflowers and potatoes grow and to make mud pies! We also have yoga sessions for the children to enjoy. We enjoy being part of the local community by visiting the library and local parks. The children have previously enjoyed visits to the local care homes which both the residents and children have thoroughly enjoyed.
At ABC we work very hard to ensure there is a balance between activity and rest. We aim to work with you to meet your child’s individual needs. This means that there is flexibility with our ‘typical’ daily routines. Children are encouraged to voice their individual ideas and play with activities of their own choice. Our house and play space are wonderful places to make this happen, and the whole team really enjoy the vibrant atmosphere that each day brings and the beautiful things that your children say and do whilst they are with us.
Government funding
We have access to Government funding which means that from the first school term after your child turns 9 months, or celebrates their 2nd or 3rd birthday, they can attend for 15 or 30 hours a week FREE. Please call for more information. Extra sessions for children can also be booked outside of your free entitlement. We usually have three intakes a year – i.e. January, Easter and September. If we have spaces available, we would love to welcome your child earlier.

Our Learning
Following the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage), we’ve developed a unique learning programme, designed by our very own ABC Teachers. Children learn through play so the programme has been carefully created with fun and stimulating activities you won’t find anywhere else.
We believe that for the best start in Early Years Education, all staff working in our settings should understand not just how, but why, we teach the way we do.
This ensures that all activities have been planned in detail to develop your child’s skills in different ways.
We produce regular newsletters to keep you updated with everything the children are learning. Parent’s evenings are held every term too.
