In need of some 'me' time this half term?

Why not book your under 5 into our creche allowing you time to relax in a Yoga class, may take a steam in our Health Suite or get your energy flowing with a dive into one of our pools.

Our Creche for under 5's gives you the chance to take part in leisure activities, knowing your children are well-cared for. You can leave your child for up to 2 hours in any 24 hours. Booking is essential as places are limited. We're afraid any no-shows (including Prepaid members) will result in the full charge being made.

Our Creche is Ofsted registered. This means that the Creche is regulated and inspected to ensure that the care of the children who attend is of an excellent standard.
