I am very happy with the care and education she recieves here. The staff actively encourage her to learn and progress in a good way, and i can see her progress through the tapestry online journal. The staff do a great job with the children and i highly recommend them. There are 3 rooms, one for babies, one for the 18 month-3 years age range and the third room is for pre schoolers. All rooms have air conditioning, and there are 2 good outside areas for playing. There is a designated chef who provides healthy balanced meals for the children should they require a cooked meal. They can provide breakfast, lunch and dinner.
