Before & After School Care

Each child has an Individual Learning Plan based on their interests and strengths, with regular updates shared with families. Ensure you have received an SMS or email advising your order is ready for pick up. Please collect your items within 24 hours of receiving this message where possible. Our friendly crew will meet with your child on the day, welcome them to the group and brief them on what the day will look like. If you or your child have any questions on the morning, our friendly staff will be more than happy to answer those for you.
These experiences build strong language, literacy, and creative skills both in the classroom and the wider community. Fresh, nourishing meals prepared daily by an in-house chef help children grow strong, and build healthy relationships with food every day.
