Painting, gardening, cooking, storytelling, role play, sensory play, building, games, outdoor play, and soft play. Every day is structured around play-based learning, not just free play.
Full days range from £65 to £85 depending on age and days booked. Full-time weekly is approximately £300 to £350. Government funded hours reduce this significantly. We can give you an exact quote based on your needs during a tour.
