Unstructured Outdoor Play For Self-Development & Confidence
Your child has access to unlimited resources for physical play, from a giant sand play area, bicycles and cars, to a large slide, mud kitchen, and a huge shed filled with materials for building muscles, motor skills, and self-confidence.
Gated Grounds & CCTV To Keep Children Safe
You shouldn’t have to worry about your child’s safety. Surveillance cameras in all classrooms, background checks on all staff, gated grounds, and restricted access to the facility ensure the best protection for your child.

Frequent hand-washing and sanitising paired with deep-cleaning by a professional team keeps everyone safe. Your child’s health is always the top priority and we ensure it by regularly disinfecting and cleaning all learning, play, eating, and common areas.
