Amenities
Our beautiful cottage was built in the 1890’s and we have retained all the history and nostalgia that goes with that. The cottage has been renovated to ensure it is compliant will all modern building codes and early childhood educational requirements.
Our environment includes a nursery space (0-2 years) with a separate cot room, toileting and nappy changing facilities, a toddler space (2-3 years) and a pre-school space (3-5 years).
In addition, we have a multipurpose Theatre and Yoga studio, a separate Dining area where our cook prepares wonderful, fresh meals for all our children and a designated craft area where our children are able to engage their imagination and further develop their fine-motor skills.
Our outdoor area provides opportunities for the children to explore their natural world through vegetable gardens, feeding our beloved animals – chickens and a bunny rabbit, develop gross motor skills through climbing, riding tricycles, sandpit & water play!
