Hearth Evening Childcare

Service Description

Calm, caring childcare in the comfort of your child's own home, designed around the natural rhythm of their evening. Hearth Evening Care gives your child a familiar, unhurried space to play, relax and wind down while you work, make plans or take some well-deserved time for yourself. Rather than rushing your child through an unfamiliar setting, I provide attentive one-to-one care in the home they already know, following their usual routines and responding to how they're feeling. 🌙 A gentle transition into the evening Time to finish the day at their own pace, whether that means play, creative activities, stories, supper or simply relaxing in their familiar surroundings. 🏡 Comfortable care at home Your child can stay in their own environment, surrounded by their familiar spaces, belongings, favourite toys and comforts. 💛 Calm, responsive support As the day winds down, I take a patient and attentive approach, giving your child reassurance, connection and space when they need it. 🧸 Child-led play & quiet time Evenings don't have to be structured or busy. Care can include play, stories, drawing, games, cuddles, quiet activities or simply following what your child feels like doing. 🛁 Familiar evening routines Where appropriate, care can fit around your child's usual evening routine, including dinner, snacks, getting changed, getting ready for bed and other familiar activities. 🌙 A relaxed end to their day The aim is to create a calm, comfortable atmosphere where your child can gradually slow down and settle into their evening routine. 📱 Communication you feel comfortable with You'll receive updates during care according to your agreed communication preferences, with contact whenever something important or urgent arises. THE AIM: For your child to have a calm, familiar and enjoyable evening at home, while you have the confidence and freedom to be away knowing they're being cared for.
