Our Approach

At Grow Learn Play, we aim to:

– Provide a safe, secure and nurturing environment for your child.

– Help your child to build relationships and develop self-esteem and social skills.

– Provide exciting learning opportunities that stimulate and interest each child and support their emotional, physical, social and academic needs.

– Offer high quality childcare in partnership with parents.

5. Encourage all to achieve their potential.

6. Challenge any inappropriate behaviour.

7. Act on any concerns regarding safeguarding.
