Our beautiful and wonderfully historic centre incorporates a lovely old church built in the 1800’s, yet with a full complement of modern facilities, offering children a safe environment in which they have maximum potential to grow, learn and experience the world in a secure, stimulating, healthy and enjoyable setting. We have state or the art, refreshingly ‘natural’ age appropriate playgrounds which allows our children to experience the natural world around them and feel the grass between their toes, exploring the sensory wonders of a natural environment. Moving away from the plastic and synthetics society we have become – our playgrounds have been designed to be a wonderland of discovery through a child’s eyes.

Menus are designed in consultation with a Child Nutritionist. Allergies and special considerations or requests can be easily catered for.
