What we do

We offer sessional day care for children aged between 2 1/2 and 4 years of age and are a school based setting. We recognise young children need a stimulating environment to be able to develop and grow, and are able to offer a vast range of play and learning opportunities that will provide all our children with a wide variety of early learning experiences, in a safe and secure environment.
Our Playgroup/wraparound is a great way for your child(ren) to learn about the world, make friends and develop social skills. It also gives mums, dads, grandparents and caregivers a well deserved break and of course, it’s great fun!
