What we do

Children are allowed to choose how they wish to spend their time and activities are child led and adaptable. Good in all areas on recent CIW Inspection with no areas of improvement. Fully safeguarding and paediatric trained. 5* Food rated by Food standards agency. Hold Level 5 qualifications in Childcare and Playwork. Working towards the Welsh Promise and Camu level 1
