Bring your kids to have fun with us!

Baby section for babies from 1 year old

All of our babies are cared for in our specially designed baby unit, Little Folks. There is a very high ration of staff to babies in the unit. This allows us to provide the necessary care and attention that all of our babies need at this stage of their development. The Baby Unit has its own sleeping room with a cot provided for each baby.

The sleeping room is next to the Baby Room where we have a viewing panel to keep a regular monitoring check on them. Our staff record all feeding, sleeping and medical administration together with nappy changing so that each parent has a record of their baby’s routine.

Pre-school for children from 2 years and 8 months

When your child leaves the Toddler Section/Busy Bees, he/she will move to the Pre- Pre-school Sections, Happy Hearts/Sunflowers. In this section, the children experience a playgroup setting in a slightly more structured environment.

The Teachers Programme is based on 6 key areas in the child's development. This is Personal, Social, Emotional, Language, Creative and Physical Development. Your child learns through play and other key experiences in this section.

We provide a wide range of equipment and related activities which are designed to enable your child to reach his/her full potential at this early stage of their development.

Other services - kitchen ad menus

Nutritional meals are served by our fully qualified chef in our specially designed commercial kitchen. Our Daily Menus provide a select and diverse range of Foods. All of our meals are served in our purpose built dining room where the children can eat together.
