Title: Magical Garden Nursery. Fethiye
Post by: MagicalGarden on August 30, 2007, 17:39:37 PM
I am very excited to announce that me and my other half have just taken over the ownership of the Magical Garden Nursery in Fethiye.

The nursery is for children aged 1 year to 7 years. It will be run along the same lines as an English nursery.  We have both English and Turkish children attending.  The nursery is open from 7:30 to 6:00 weekdays. We offer both full time and part time sessions. All  Turkish staff are qualified in childcare. I am NNEB childcare qualified with 20 years childcare experience in the UK.
 
The nursery has a  large outdoor play area or will have after the gardener has been in.
Inside, the nursery is already a brilliant place for children. There are four play/class rooms all fully kitted out for your child's delight. There is also a sleep room should you wish your little ones to have a nap during the day

We offer breakfast, lunch and tea all included in the price.

In the future we hope to offer a drop in service for people on holiday or viewing houses who just want a few hours childcare.

We are also going to start a mother and baby coffee morning for mums with babies from birth to around a year, one morning a week.

A web page will be developed in the near future but for now PM me for any details.
We also plan to have a open morning one Saturday in the next month or two

Anyone who books a full time place as a result of this forum 10% of first months payment will be donated to Starfish charity

I didn't think under 3's were allowed in childcare centres. We tried with our son at the age of 2 and was told the law disallows this? Has it changed now?

Not heard of this problem. How long ago were you told this?
This nursery has been open for about 7 years with no problems. We are registered with a locally appointed childcare officer who overseas a number of nurseries in the area.
Most nurseries in Fethiye take children from 2 years but only offer full time places (5 days a week.)

Was it because he carried an advert for Somine Kebap on his T shirt?

Laffa you are welcome to pop in for a coffee anytime and have a look round the nursery.

We are an independent nursery, which means we are overseen by a Professor from Mugla University who specialises in childcare, from there we get a licence allowing us to take children from one year old to seven years (of course we have to pay for this...every month!!!).
Pre school is slightly different and is normally attached to a local school controlled by the council, age range from 3-5.

My little boy Cameron attends this nursery and loves it. His wee brother will soon be joining in the new year. I cannot say a bad word about the place. I wish Elaine and John the best of luck with their new venture.

Look forward to seeing the garden to its former glory very soon!!!! Ha Ha

Dunno if you are looking at a brochure or advertising, but here's some baby clipart which might come in handy ;-)

Thanks sominekebap. We will be in on Wednesday to eat around 5/6pm for 2 big meals, 1 little meal and a play on your bouncy castle for smudge's birthday tea.

Hi jock and sunnyd. Next week's lesson plan's are all drawn up It's named after the book you may have heard of it called "We're going on a bear hunt".
We are calling it "We're going on a rabbit hunt". So make sure your boys come suitably dressed for jungle adventure, with compass and map. If no one is in the nursery when you come to pick up send a rescue party round the back...lol
