They understand the responsibility of caring, nuturing and educating every child in a safe and secure environment. They are commited to ensuring every child not only enjoys their time, but has been provided every available developmental and learning opportunity.  Our team approach ensures the individual and collective needs of the children are met in a harmonious and friendly environment. By maintaining a consistent and professional team of staff, we facilitate continuity and familiarity for the children and their families. Our permanent team of highly qualified and experienced individuals have been selected through an extensive recruitment process that requires the following as a minimum:
