"The meals are really great and the menus change quarterly. The on site cooks know all the children by name. They cater for my 2 vegetarian children with ease! With so many diverse activities taking place during the day, the children are never bored. They are gently encouraged and challenged to take part in activities which benefit their physical and mental well-being. It was a joy to listen to my 2 year old describing the "Child Safety Week's" fire engine visit…. "Engine, hosepipe, firemen WATER SPRAYING!!" He was so excited!" Philippa Rowe
