Questions parents ask first
Do you have places now?
Acorns usually has a short waiting list. Saplings and Young Oaks often have space mid-year. Send an enquiry with your child's age and the days you need.
Can we visit first?
Yes. Tours run on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:00 am and take about 30 minutes. Children are welcome to come along.
What do we need to bring?
A change of clothes, a water bottle and a sun hat. We provide meals, snacks, nappies, wipes and all art supplies.
How do you keep us updated?
A short note at pick-up every day, a photo update each week and a parent meeting every term.
