Where children thrive through play-based learning
Our dedicated educators create experiences tailored to each child's goals and interests, fostering curiosity in a stimulating and engaging environment.
We believe in empowering children to lead their own play, with our skilled staff enhancing their learning journey. Stay connected with us through Tapestry and our social media for updates on your child's progress.
Our weekly Movement and Mindfulness sessions are designed to support overall well-being. We embrace free-flow play, allowing children to explore the outdoors daily in all weather conditions, ensuring a dynamic learning experience.
Care routines, including nappies and toileting, are conducted regularly throughout the day, and we do our best to follow each child’s individual sleep schedule
Join us in nurturing your child's growth and development in a caring, innovative setting.
