Great facilities and activities
We create a social, fun environment where we incorporate the children's ideas and wishes to ensure they are stimulated and enjoy their time with us. Parents can be rest assured that Treetops provides the best in terms of health and safety and we are regulated by Ofsted, and currently rated good.
Whilst at Treetops, the children socialise, explore and make the most of our accessible and specially adapted activity spaces, which include a sensory room, a large sensory garden and play area, chill out lounge, TV room and large adapted kitchen where the children are encouraged to develop their own life skills through cooking activities. If staying overnight, they’ll rest and sleep in one of the six themed single bedrooms that overlook our lovely garden.
Opportunities to get out and about
The children are also actively engaged in choosing activities they enjoy off-site. They are encouraged to engage in age-appropriate leisure activities that they might otherwise not be able to participate in.
