Our indoor environments have been recently renovated and the entirety of our centre has received new learning resources meaning we pair the benefits of our long-standing staff and community with modern equipment. We have a generous outdoor play area which provides children space to actively explore and gain confidence in their bodies in a safe and fun environment.
