enrolling & admissions
We offer a fair and transparent admissions policy. Our aim is to be able to accommodate all requests for specific sessions and days. Our operational hours are 8.30am to 3pm, Monday to Friday. In an attempt to ensure settling and child bonding, we offer a minimum booking pattern of 2 sessions per week.
Our enrollment process is simple and we are here to help you every step of the way. We understand that entrusting your child to professional care can be daunting, so we offer settling sessions to ensure that both you and your child are comfortable with us before you start. Some children may be eligible for funding towards the cost of childcare, we will assist you in applying for this, should you want us to.
