Website now live!
Jill & Jasmine have had a busy start to 2012 and are now
full steam ahead with their Social Enterprise Company (Essential Social
Enterprises Community Interest Company) and excited to announce the launch of the
Essential Care4Children division & website!
Essential Care4Children was started in 2011 and its vision is to
provide a diverse and inclusive range of high quality and affordable childcare
services which are accessible to all parents. They also offer specialised
childcare services for parents of children and young people with disabilities,
which include play schemes, before & after school care, holiday clubs and
overnight and respite care. All their childcare services are staffed by caring, professionally
trained staff and volunteers who are highly skilled with a wealth of experience
in working with children with disabilities.
Their training
company division (Essential Care Training) empowers and engages young people
and parents with the opportunity to train and retrain in Health & Social
Care and the Childcare Sector and gain employment. Their childcare support services afford them
this opportunity whilst their childcare needs are met. Their clubs provide children and young people
with opportunities to have fun, socialise and gain new skills in a safe
environment.
Volunteers play a
big part in the organisation; there are opportunities for volunteers to gain
essential employment experience whilst working in one of their settings, whilst
also having the opportunity to be part of the ongoing specialised training they
provide.
They also offer
exciting inclusive activity clubs for older children and young people aged 8
-16. They hold holiday taster sessions
& the young people play a huge part in the decision process on what
activities they prefer to be provided within the clubs.
All their
childcare support services are purposefully assessed to support parents in
areas which are in most need. Areas of
social deprivation, rural areas and especially areas where there is a high
density of children and extra services are required to meet the childcare
demand.
Essential
Care4Children warmly welcome any suggestions from parents, local authorities
and charitable organizations, where their services can be developed within the
community.
Their mission
statement is to make a difference one community a time.
