Education is all about fun!
Our programs include a wide range of activities including sport and games, cultural activities, as well as cooking, art and craft.
We have many visitors throughout the year from the Police, Fire Brigade to dance and Yoga lessons and also hands-on wildlife experiences, ensuring that your child is exposed to all types of day to day activities.
We love seeing the reaction to these visits and opening the children’s minds to things they may not otherwise experience.
