[00:22.82]Hello everyone, and welcome to the Stanfield Childcare Centre.
[00:27.06]Now I know you're all new mothers, and you like to cling to your children.
[00:31.22]You've certainly spent a lot of time raising them to the age of four and are perhaps reluctant to leave them here at our centre.
[00:38.92]Well, one of the first things you should understand is that here it is safe - very safe.
[00:45.28]Look around and you'll see that every room has padded walls.
[00:49.08]Other centres have standard painted walls, but here, we have invested a lot to ensure your children will not hurt themselves when running around and possibly tripping over.
[00:59.23]This padding extends around all corners - that is, the areas most likely to bruise and cut your active little child.
[01:07.15]So, you can rest assured that any accidents of a physical nature are not likely to happen here.
[01:14.15]Now, you don't want to dump your child at this centre and let them waste their time.
[01:19.35]You want them to learn, and that's one of the greatest assets of our establishment.
[01:24.45]Our staff are not only trained childcare workers, but all of them have a special skill, which they can impart to your child, whether it be teaching the ABC, some basic mathematics, artistic skills, or physical education.
[01:40.87]We are particularly known for our preschool literacy program and have a wealth of learning toys, specially designed to develop your child's potential.
[01:50.72]Of course, one concern many mothers have is that, in environments such as these, colds and flus and other viral nasties can be easily spread around.
[02:01.12]It's a very legitimate concern, and one which we take seriously, and we pride ourselves on our precautions.
[02:09.22]For a start, unlike most centres which clean with standard detergents, we disinfect every surface at the end of every day, using a special disinfectant wash.
[02:22.04]Some places just wipe surfaces daily with a damp cloth, but not us. And that's just the start.
[02:26.88]And that's just the start.
[02:29.08]We also physically check your children when they arrive every day, and if we feel your child is sick, we ask him or her to wear a face mask to ensure germs are not transmitted.
[02:40.84]If your child is noticeably sick, then we ask you to take them back home to recover.
[02:46.84]This might sound a little unkind, but we hope parents can understand that these measures are for the benefit of all.
[03:14.57]Now, at Stanfield Childcare Centre we have excellent childcare officers, and let me briefly introduce them.
[03:16.77]We have Susan, Andrea, Bella, Cathy, Lisa, and Liz. They're all fully trained and come with some individual assets which make them even better.
[03:24.81]Bella, for instance, knows children very well, having worked here for five years, and Cathy has her own family - two little girls - so she can talk to you with first-hand knowledge of what it's really like to raise children.
[03:50.46]But getting back to Bella, she often relaxes here after work, spending long hours chatting to parents, as does Cathy in fact.
[03:59.86]But in terms of hours, nothing can compare to Andrea, who will sometimes spend the night here, staying in our overnight room.
[04:08.73]Why?
[04:09.86]Because this centre is very friendly, and simply a great place to be.
[04:15.52]Bella, for example, used to be quite shy herself but now is marvellous with the little kiddies, as outgoing as any of them.
[04:25.58]We let Cathy, though, deal with the particularly quiet and introverted children, since having her own family, she knows what can really bring them out.
[04:35.61]Of course, what better way to do this than with yummy homemade cakes, and Cathy often gets these from Bella, who can make some of the best in town.
[04:45.52]Yes, everyone here brings something special, which is why we're one of the best childcare centres in the business.
