Report
I couldn’t recommend Scamps more highly! I am delighted that it was recommended to me by local mums. The level of thought and care that goes into each individual child’s happiness and development is exceptional. My twins are immensely happy there - they learn new skills every day through play. They plant flowers and veg and watch them grow; they watched chicks hatch and are now taking care of them; they cook; they can now speak a little French (and sing lots of French songs); they are taught health and safety in a fun way and they are exploring new exciting things about the world every

Report
I have used scamps over the past 12 years for my three children. The kids have really enjoyed it. The staff are excellent and I think the slightly more laid back approach has helped my children to enjoy it, as it feels different to their school experience. They particularly like the football and trampoline! 😀
