We offer flexible sessions to accommodate the diverse needs of our families. Our fees are competitive, and we offer a 30-hour funded place for eligible children. We also offer additional hours for 3 and 4-year-olds and 2-year-olds, which can be funded through the government's 30-hour funded childcare initiative.
