In the charity's own words
The Trustees operate a day nursery for children from babies up to the compulsory schooling age. We provide care, education and play, both in the nursery premises and by taking the children on outings. We assist in the education of school age children in the community, and the parents of the children, as they come into the nursery and are involved.
