Our location and premises

We are situated in the village hall on the edge of Ide Hill, near Sevenoaks, with views over Bough Beech. The hall has ramps and is accessible to all. We have a large, fenced-in playground for riding tricycles, pushing buggies, playing with balls, hoops, tyres and planks and making dens, as well as an enclosed garden with its own sandpit, tyre swing and climbing frame. We recognise the importance of outside play, we have our own allotment, the children plant, grow and eat their own fruits and vegetables and our weekly plans include activities both inside and outside. We go on regular walks in the nearby woods and village.
