Hours, and the full-day option
Every programme runs Monday to Thursday, 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and Friday, 7:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Friday is a short day for every child, which is worth knowing before you plan around it.
Children can leave at midday or stay for full-day care to 5:30 PM. The teachers are the same either way — there is no separate afternoon staff.
Fees depend on the age group and the number of days. We quote on enquiry, and this page explains what sits inside and outside the fee.

Every child has a key person from the first visit — one teacher who learns their name, their routines and how they like to be comforted. Settling starts with shorter sessions and lengthens when the child is ready, not when the calendar says so.
Yes. Our Infant Class takes babies from 45 days to 1 year: gentle care that follows each baby’s own routine, sensory experiences and early interaction. More about infant care or see all four class groups.
