Beanstalks are committed to providing high quality childcare for children aged 2 to 11, at affordable prices.
Beanstalks Childcare began almost 15 years ago when our lovely Directors, parents themselves, discovered they couldn’t find a childcare provision that worked for them. The rest is history and we’ve been going strong for many years now, proudly caring for children across the Sale area.
We strive to offer a stimulating and fun environment for your child to flourish in our care. We listen to what our parents and their children desire, and have responded with a comprehensive range of age-appropriate activities.
How do Beanstalks operate?
Parents as Partners
The Early Years Foundation Stage
Learning Opportunities
Beanstalks are dedicated to a continuous cycle of listening to and responding to parent feedback. We adopt an open door policy where parents are welcome at any time to discuss their child’s care, promote feedback via the suggestion box, and ask parents to complete regular questionnaires to help us maintain our high standards.

The Early Years Foundation Stage
Beanstalks operate within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This framework encourages a holistic approach to development and learning through interaction with people and the exploration of the world around them. The children’s achievements are treated individually and development takes place in all areas of the provision.
Activities are planned, evaluated and implemented on a short, medium and long term basis to facilitate a broad experience and knowledge-base for all the children who attend Beanstalks.
Staffing
Retention
The Early Years Foundation Stage
In order to always have the ability to provide consistent, high quality childcare our staffing policy is designed to meet and exceed OFSTED requirements. By endeavouring to be over ratio in staffing terms, we have an inbuilt contingency to cater for unplanned staff absences and the ability to allow the children continuous free flow access between the indoor and outdoor spaces.

Continuity of care is very important and at Beanstalks our recruitment and retention policies are designed to find and retain the best people to care for your children. We aim to keep staff turnover to a minimum via extensive training, incentive schemes and active support for career advancement.
Nutrition

At Beanstalks we regard each meal time as a happy relaxed social occasion, where a nutritious and varied diet will be provided for your child. Children sit in groups with a member of staff, who encourages social interaction and conversation.
Drinking water is readily available for the children throughout the sessions. A vegetarian option is always available and upon request we cater for a wide range of dietary requirements.
