All our Worcestershire childcare staff are CRB cleared (at enhanced level), experienced and continually undergoing training to support professional development and enhance the quality of the service. All snacks and meals use locally sourced produce including some home grown (the onsite school is a Silver Food for Life Flagship School). We ensure that all food is healthy and well balanced - providing only the best childcare in Kidderminster.

Our regular activities include swimming in our onsite learner pool, forest school, dance and music together with creative arts and crafts. Thanks to the Aiming High for Disabled Children scheme we can offer additional support to families with children who have a disability and we also provide a wide range of disabled children’s activities in Kidderminster.
