Crèche

Our Centre offers a fully equipped Crèche service, where our friendly experienced and qualified staff can care for your children, allowing parents to feel confident that their children are safe, while participating in one of the Centre’s activities or programs.

It is recommended that children attending the crèche for the first time, are accompanied with their parents for a settling in period. Our crèche team will be able to discuss this further with you when you attend the centre.
