Let me tell you a little about myself. This is me with my lovely son, Max. He's my only child, and I've invested, learned and grown hugely on our journey together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like you, I'm sure, I understand the importance of the early formative years in any child's life.&lt;br /&gt;This is when the fundamental elements of emotional stability and personality are laid down. Elements which will last a lifetime. So we want to give them the very best we can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For me, that means:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Above all, a happy, caring, respectful place to spend their time.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Appropriate levels of attention when, where and how it's needed.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A welcoming, safe,&amp;nbsp;home environment,&amp;nbsp;accessible to each individual child&amp;nbsp; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rich, varied play experiences planned to be interesting, challenging and acheivable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Parents remaining central to their child's life as we work in partnership&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Please explore my blog, to find out more about the&amp;nbsp;care I provide. If you'd like to take things further, you've very welcome to phone or to come over for an informal chat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope to hear from you soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Families&lt;br /&gt;Lou&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2721591176927628748-3353771760394683828?l=bedfordchildcare.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2721591176927628748/posts/default/3353771760394683828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2721591176927628748/posts/default/3353771760394683828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bedfordchildcare.blogspot.com/2010/03/welcome-to-my-blog.html' title='Welcome to my BLOG'/><author><name>Lou Threapleton</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03586278711731263103</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_hW5QAF6n620/S6TFVVum6rI/AAAAAAAAAAM/skFxLOwrqWM/S220/loumax.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_hW5QAF6n620/S6s1-WH5ysI/AAAAAAAAAA0/DHoU4FaHtnU/s72-c/loumax.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry></feed>
