Mission
Tip Top Childcare Limited provides care and early education to every child, tailored to their individual needs across our three settings located in Willenhall, Moxley and Bilston. Children’s educational needs and interests are catered for during our enriching activities, in our safe and homely environments. Our staff are trained to support you and your child through their Early Years Education supporting learning and development both at nursery and at home.
Tip Top strives to develop good relationships with parents, families and professionals, as we believe that in order to provide the best care and education, and for each child to develop and flourish to their maximum potential. Positive, professional relationships and role models are key. We provide care and education in a nurturing, caring environment, where the child learns through play and exploration, and their needs are at the heart of everything that we do. We aim to support children to grow and develop into happy, confident, independent school ready individuals.
Alongside promoting children's early education, we also support good health and nutrition, with freshly cooked healthy meals each day, a focus on oral hygiene, and supporting the children and our families to explore healthy foods in new and fun ways. Children receive a healthy balanced diet across all three settings. Children (depending on session timings) will receive breakfast, mid morning snack, hot cooked lunch, mid afternoon snack and a light tea. Snack consists of fruits, vegetables, sometimes a light carbohydrate and an option of milk or water. We cater to dietary requirements for allergies and intolerances, as well as cultural preferences, please inform the nursery of these on enrollment.
