You asked, we answered
Little questions, quick answers
What are the school hours?
Monday to Thursday, 8:00am – 3:30pm. On Fridays we finish at 1:00pm.
At what age can my child join?
From 18 months, into our Pengu playgroup, and every age up to 6 after that. Get in touch about timing and places.
What's the child-to-teacher ratio?
Between 5:1 for our littlest and 8:1 for the oldest. Small enough that every child is properly known.
What do the children eat?
Fresh, nutritious meals and snacks, cooked in our own kitchen every day. It smells fantastic around 11 o'clock.
Is there a school uniform?
We'll walk you through the uniform and the full starting list during enrolment. Ask us on your visit.
Is transport available?
Chat with us about where you're coming from and we'll help you sort the easiest school run.
Step one is the fun one
Ready to join the family?
Book a visit, meet the teachers, and start the enrolment journey. We'll hold your hand the whole way (we're quite good at that).
