“Always a great selection of activities available for my child with plenty of resources and new ideas”

“I have been extremely happy with the level of care provided by the staff at Scallywags, my child looks forward to attending & I am always able to discuss his personal needs or ask questions either with his key worker or another team member. The setting is big enough that there is variety for the children but small enough to feel that the children are supported and staff actually get to know them on an individual level”
