We have a microwave and kettle and cooking hobs for parents and guardians who wish to prepare their own foods.
Do you feed the children on your night off?
We do, although this is usually something simple so we advise giving little ones a big lunch. We can organise babysitters for when the parents go out for a meal in one of the local restaurants.

What activities do the children do in the creche?
