My daughter has enjoyed every minute of creche at ICC, she has been attending for 2yrs! Every member of staff who has looked after her have been amazing! She has so much fun! I love the fact that they go out for walks to parks etc and do lots of activities outside, this was a deciding factor to me when choosing a creche! I would definitely recommend to others, nothing is ever too much trouble there!
