What our parent's say
"Children thoroughly enjoy exploring the stimulating indoor and outdoor play areas, and the wide range of high-quality play resources. They make independent choices and follow their own interests in their play and learning."
"Staff work closely with parents. They work hard to ensure that all parents know what their children are doing. They create a strong and effective two-way flow of information between the playgroup and home. Parents comment that staff give a detailed handover at the end of the session."
