Separate Nurseries and Toddlers Areas

Separate under and over two’s areas allow children to receive age-appropriate learning opportunities in a safe, nurturing environment.

Our under-two’s area accommodates 16 children, each with their own cot in a warm and quiet sleeping room. With an excellent staff-child ratio of one adult to four children, your baby or toddler receives quality care and attention.

Our over-two’s area accommodates 44 children within a treasure-trove of learning and play. This area also includes a separate toddler’s area so that our younger children can begin a safe transition toward the over-two’s area at their own pace without feeling overwhelmed. The staff ratio in the over-two’s area is one adult to eight children so each child receives focused care and quality attention.

Hours

The centre operates between 7.30am and 6pm each week day. We are closed only on public and statutory holidays.

Getting to know each other

We have an open door policy and encourage parents/caregivers to spend time at the centre getting to know our educators and the routines that we incorporate into our programme, but for any new enquires it is advisable to make an appointment so that time can be spent with you showing you around our centre.

Outdoor Play

Three outdoor areas have been designed so that under and over two’s have safe, fun, and empowering activities that inspire learning, develop gross motor skills and encourage social play.

Nutritious Meals

Our in-house cook provides children with a nutritious, balanced menu of morning and afternoon tea and lunch. Fresh fruit and vegetables are always in ready supply and meals are wholesome and home-cooked. In December 2009, the centre was awarded with The Healthy Heart Award from the Heart Foundation – something that we are very proud of.
