Baby Chimps
7 Months – 2 Years
Our most recently built section ‘Baby Chimps’ is open to all children aged from 7 months to 2 years old. Baby Chimps has its own private, self contained, purpose built rooms within our clubhouse.
There is a decking area, separate sleep area and a messy play area. In a caring environment, with many fun and stimulating sensory activities on offer, your child will enjoy their first experiences of being away from home.
To ensure that each child has enough space and attention, baby chimps will only take a maximum of 6 children per day with a staff to child ratio of at least 1:3 to maintain an exceptionally high level of care.
Snacks and full fat milk will be provided in both the morning and afternoon.
