Our baby room is laid out so there is a discreet area if parents wish to breastfeed on site.
Stay and play sessions happen regularly across all age groups, parents are more than welcome to attend and participate in the activities provided. This gives parents the opportunity to have an insight on how we work as a nursery and care for your little ones!
