The Den

For those children who are slightly older, the toddler room has been designed specifically to meet the growing and active needs of this age group.

With increasing mobility and a desire to develop independence, the children have a main playroom and a separate quiet and sleeping area. The activities are changed in the morning and afternoon to keep the toddlers fully occuplied and to give them the opportunity to develop their gross motor skills.
