Located in a converted villa in the heart of Oxton, the space now features large playrooms, “carefully designed” spaces to inspire creativity and a purpose-built sensory room to support inclusive learning and wellbeing.

Outside, the landscaped play area offers an assortment of bespoke zones including soft play, mud kitchens, water play and climbing areas.

In addition to the physical changes, the investment has also provided brand new learning resources throughout the nursery.
