features
of our centre
Our large outdoor area
has real grass and children are protected from the sun by our lovely big
tree, as well as other areas with shade cover. Our outdoor area also
includes a large sandpit and cubby house with plenty of colourful
equipment for children to play with. We have, over many years of
landscape development and care, worked towards creating a natural
environment with gardens, our small 'Oasis' corner as well as well as our
grassy area. Indoors, the children learn, play and relax in
air-conditioned comfort. Outside, they have grass and shade, sandpit
and cubbyhouse, play equipment, trees and grass: the perfect
child-friendly environment.

Accreditation System, which are:
