About Us

‘Children's confidence and self-esteem were promoted through kind, nurturing and warm interactions with staff. This included physical warmth such as hugs, where appropriate, and gentle encouragement to participate in activities....children were laughing and smiling showing that they were relaxed and engaged in their activities.'
