Child minding in Kalkan

[Christine Kalkan]

Just thought people with small children might be interested to hear the there is a nursery school here, in Kalkan, that looks after children on a daily basis (as well as full-time). It''s name is Akdeniz Minikler Koleji and is situated near the Ä°ÅŸ Bank. A friend of mine left her five year old daughter there for the day last thursday. Her daughter went there at eight thirty in the morning, and was there until six thirty in the evening. She had breakfast , lunch and an afternoon snack, and a snooze in the afternoon. Her mum and I had a relaxing time wandering round the market, then mum went off to chill out by her pool. The total cost for the day was twelve pounds. Her daughter Zoe had a great time and made lots of new friends. I believe they also look after children in the evening if desired, and can pick children up at a small additional cost. Their email address is akdenizminiklerkoleji@hotmail.com.
Sorry if this is advertising but I think it is a very useful piece of information.

 Do you know what ages the nursery school will take?. A friend coming out to stay with us soon has a 4 and 6 year old and would like them to have a couple of half days where they get to meet and play with other children so they don''t get too bored with each others company.

Hi Lantana,
I have just rung the manager of the school and he said that they can take children of ages two to eight years old. So your friends kids should have no problem being accepted. Dont forget that if you fancy a girls night out that they can be looked after in  the  evening as well.

Thank you for this information Christine. I''m sure that a lot of people with young children will be very interested to know that it is possible to have their children looked after for a few hours or a day, so that they can have a break, and we will definitely tell our guests about it.

Do you know if it is owned and run by trained and properly vetted childcarers, as I think parents would like to assured about this?

 Any educational establishment in Turkey, state or private, even a nursery school,  must be licensed and very strictly regulated. All such establishments are also subject to regular, ongoing inspections. The regulations here are far more stringent than anything in the UK so you can be sure that if it has passed the Turkish Ministry of Education standards, it is  a very well run place, with staff of the highest calibre.

Yes, Lantana is correct. Thiis college is strictly controlled by the ministry of education . The teachers are properly qualified and all the staff have to have very regular thorough health checks. My son attended this establishment before he started primary school. I was very impressed by the standard of care and education. Thats the reason why I thought it would be useful for everyone out there to know about it.

Hi
I can also say wonderful things about the nursery ,my friend Ibrahim yurtseven recommend the nursery to me when we were in kalkan last week and pulled a few strings to get them to look after my 18 month year old son for a couple of hours while my wife and myself enjoyed a fantastic meal at the denis restaurant
  They charged me £5 per hour which to us was worth every penny to get some valuable time alone together which we have not had since he was born,saying that we couldn''t wait to pick him up though
