Education is all about fun!
Our programs include a wide range of activities including physical activities such as sport and games, cultural activities including cooking and craft and excursions.
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.
