Our family run business opened its doors in 1994 with the ethos ‘Where learning is fun’ and by staying true to our core values we have become the childcare provider of choice within the Penistone area and beyond. We are so proud of our beautiful countryside location that, whatever the weather, we encourage our children to make the most of the outdoors every day. Rain, sun, snow, being based in Penistone for over 25 years we know what to expect from mother nature. Whether it’s walking, visiting all the farm animals or enjoying running through the muddy puddles on the lane we know there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing. About the Team: You will predominantly be working as part of a small team within the baby room, but there is the potential to work within other rooms with other age children should it be better suited.
