Where children come to play and learn
The Pont-Y-Gof Playhouse
Lullaby Lane
Ratio 1:3 Under 2's
The baby suite is a large, spacious, open plan area that allows babies to explore the environment safely. The suite is neutrally decorated and babies will be encouraged to begin to explore the world around them through natural toys as well as sensory stimulation in the form of a sensory tent.
Babies have a separate, sheltered outdoor space where they can use their initiative and curiosity to take in everything around them.
Curiosity Close
Ratio1:4 2 - 3's
This room is a bright, spacious room that has free flow access to our safe and secure outdoor area. Part of the outdoor area is sheltered in the form of a canopy. The children will have the opportunity to play with age appropriate, natural toys whilst developing their personal, social and emotional skills in the form of developing relationships, sharing and taking turns which promotes positive behaviour.
The children will be introduced to our Forest School area from this age where they will take part in real– life, learning experiences. We support children to become resilient learners providing them with the foundation to continue through to primary school and beyond.

Discovery Drive
After School and Holiday Club 6 -12's
We have created a relaxing, calming area where children can complete homework if they wish or they can access free play which includes arts/crafts, games, outdoor play, a football table and ipads. We have created a timetable of daily structured activities that children can choose to participate in. For example, Monday- Ball Games, Tuesday- Bikes, Wednesday- Cooking Club, Thursday- Forest School Activities, Friday-Film Night.
We offer a wrap around service to and from local primary schools.
The Secret Garden
We are extremely fortunate to have a very large outdoor area that encourages children to explore, investigate and take risks. We are lucky enough to also have our own Forest School area which is separate from the main outdoor area. Forest School allows children the freedom to explore the outdoors and to learn in an exciting way. Forest School provides children with the opportunity to grow as an individual through achievable tasks and to develop their sense of well-being. It shows them how to be resourceful and to make use of the world around them. Our outdoor space as a whole is an additional learning space where children can develop their confidence and self-esteem.
