We provide teas and coffee, plus some nibbles for everyone, plus the chance for a chat with other caregivers and parents. Great as a pre-cursor for your child to play centre or Kindy. We have masses of educational and experiential toys encouraging mental and physical development. We are on the no 1 and 29 bus routes and the stops are right outside so very easy access, and we have plenty of parking spaces available in Humber Street.
