Our Facilities
Our pre-school features three well-equipped rooms within our Toddler Roomand Pre-School Room, each designed to support the developmental stages of children aged 9 months to 4 years. We also have a generous garden space, offering ample opportunities for outdoor play and exploration.
Each room is thoughtfully designed and adapted to meet the diverse needs of children, ensuring a safe and engaging environment that promotes learning and development. Our home-inspired décor provides children with a sense of safety and fosters their creativity, while the furniture is designed at their scale for enhanced comfort and accessibility.
Play areas are equipped with age-appropriate toys and resources that encourage imaginative play and social interaction. Soft, cushioned flooring minimises the risk of injury during active play, and dedicated quiet corners provide a serene space for relaxation or focused activities.
Rooms are also organised into distinct zones, such as reading nooks filled with a variety of books, art stations stocked with craft supplies, and sensory areas featuring tactile materials. Each space is designed to cater to different interests and developmental stages, allowing children to explore, learn, and grow in a nurturing atmosphere. Additionally, careful consideration is given to safety features, ensuring that all elements within the room are child-proof and secure while still promoting independence and exploration.
Our Mission
Together we learn and play to develop happy, independent and confident children.
