We serve many local schools and have children from different ethnical, cultural and additional needs. We have two bright airy, well resourced, rooms and an outside area where the children can play and explore safely. All doors are secured by key pads and the gates are locked when we are in. We enjoy very close links with the school, Therapists, Advisory Teaching Service. We are fully inclusive and welcome all children.
