Shirehampton welcomes new Baby Unit and improvements to Front Garden

Building work to create a new Baby Unit and make improvements to our front garden play area for Pre-school children were completed on 18th December.

The new facilities have created three separate outdoor play areas for Babies, Toddlers and Pre-school children, with resources and activities specific to each age group.

The new Baby Unit will cater for up to 18 children under the age of two, with improved access to the garden.

The main hall will become a permanent soft-play area, ideal for climbing, sliding, stretching and balancing fun, whatever the weather!
