Breakfast Club
We understand that mornings can be a busy time for families, which is why we offer a Breakfast Club with an early opening time of 8:15am. This service is designed to support parents who are working, studying, or simply juggling a busy schedule.
Children can be dropped off in a calm, welcoming environment where they'll be offered a healthy breakfast and the chance to ease into the day with fun, relaxed activities before the main preschool session begins. It's a convenient and reassuring option to help make mornings run more smoothly for both you and your child.
Famly App
We keep our parents closely connected and informed through the Famly communication app, which provides regular updates about their child's day. From activities and meals to learning experiences and key developmental moments, everything is shared in one easy-to-use platform.
This helps to build a strong home–preschool partnership, allowing parents to feel involved and engaged in their child's early learning journey.
Meals & snacks
We provide a variety of nutritious snacks throughout the day, all free of charge, to support children's health and wellbeing. For those attending during the lunch period, children are welcome to bring a packed lunch from home.
We take pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and food safety, and are pleased to hold a 5-star food hygiene rating, giving parents added peace of mind when it comes to their child's care and nutrition.
