Dennice Roberts the Chief Executive of Super Kiddies writes:
With a troubled economy and significant cost increase of local childcare services in the region drastically rising, this impacts and exacerbates instability within our local community for parents to be at ease with affordable childcare. Where challenges arise particularly for single parents and working households to access wraparound child care services, especially during the half term school holidays season- this creates moral panic within society and lowers people’s chances of sustaining employment.
Research shows that more than half the gaps in achievement at age 11 are due to inequality that existed at five years old (Bradbury et al. 2015).
We are particularly interested in targeted interventions that support children in this early years age group who are living in the most disadvantaged circumstances due to poverty and who may be at risk of or are experiencing neglect. We aim to:
* increase the likelihood of children achieving developmental milestones
* support children to make successful transitions to primary school
* improve children’s physical health through access to healthcare, nutrition, check-ups, immunisations etc.
* give families a better understanding of their child’s needs and improves confidence in parenting / caring so they are better able to meet the child’s needs
* increase families’ positive engagement in services enabling targeted support to address specific issues e.g. domestic violence, mental health, substance abuse, neglect.
* help to meet a child’s basic needs as part of a wider programme of intervention or support.
Our services will be assessed on the level to which they are meeting the needs of children in the most disadvantaged circumstances.

Dennice believes that there has never been a better time than now to open a reliable childcare business right here in the heart of Woodford. With social media pervading and consuming almost every area of our life, Super Kiddies mission has never been more needed, or urgent.
