Our Funtasia family is made up of 6 Before and After School Programs, 2 Holiday Clubs, and our First Steps Nursery.
With safe escorting, engaging activities, and play opportunities that we offer for local schools, you can relax knowing that your kids are in good hands.
As managing director of Funtasia Kids Clubs since the company's founding in 1996, my name is Karen Sanderson.
My goal is to offer children and their families a first-rate service that will significantly improve their lives.
Funtasia's mission statement is fundamentally based on the idea that we never lose sight of the fact that we enjoy caring for kids.
It's important to have fun, love your work, and act professionally. We must constantly strive to develop and be the greatest version of ourselves.
Being in the childcare industry for the majority of my working life, I have witnessed dramatic changes in working practises, learning outcomes, inspection processes, and legalities. The team and I are constantly reviewing and reflecting on practises, looking for improvements, areas of weakness, and learning from mistakes.
However, despite the changes in childcare, my goal and the setting's guiding principles remain the same: to offer a place where every child is respected for their individuality, where they may feel safe and comfortable, and where they can develop through play into self-assured, self-driven learners.
Making ensuring that all of the kids have a good time and that there is a good mix between kid- and adult-led engaging activities is an essential part of our programming.
imagining fresh approaches to improve the lives of the children in our care.
I We are honoured that you have chosen Funtasia for your children's care and look forward to meeting you.
PS: You may reach me directly at 0161 250 5051. (Ext 1).
Our practise is deeply rooted in Funtasia's attitude of constantly striving to provide the finest care possible for all of our children.
We are honoured that parents leave their kids to us, and in return, we offer a top-notch, loving, and engaging learning environment.
We never lose sight of how much we owe the kids, parents, employees, and other professionals who make up our community.
Making sure the kids have a good time and that activities are balanced between kid- and adult-led ones is an essential part of our programming.
Our goal is to give students the opportunities they need to support their learning in all subject areas based on their unique interests.
Opportunities to unwind and enjoy yourself.
We have the key person system firmly embedded in our practice; This enhances childrens self-esteem and is seen in the attachments which children form at the setting.
A fundamental aspect of Funtasias mission statement is that we never forget why we look after children, because we enjoy it.
We promote respect for self, others and a pride throughout our organisation.
