Rooms and ages

Room questions
Good to know
Can siblings be in the same room?
Only if they are close in age. Siblings see each other in the garden and at lunch most days.
How many children are in each room?
Up to 9 babies, 16 toddlers and 24 pre schoolers, always within the ratios shown.
Do you take children with additional needs?
Yes, we welcome every child. We will talk with you and any specialist about how we can best support your child.
What should I pack?
A labelled bag with two sets of spare clothes, a sun hat, nappies and wipes if used, and a comfort item.
