This year he has also attended full day sessions at Summer Club and Christmas Club. It’s a good sign when your child doesn’t want to come home from a childcare setting! Louise and the team provide excellent care and endless fun activities, all in a lovely spacious indoor/outdoor setting. Whether it’s building using ‘junk’, baking, crafts or outdoor play, every day brings another adventure. They have been taken on day trips out during the Summer and Christmas club. Local trips have been to Epsom town centre to visit the market, library and cinema. They have even taken the train up to a London art gallery and had a fun walk and paddle at the stepping stones at Box Hill. I would definitely recommend the Kindergarten at St. Josephs to any parent looking for childcare in the area.
