About Us

The Purple Penguin Crèche is family owned and operated with the aim to ensure that the children in our care have a happy, safe and stimulating day! To help in this process we work in close partnership with the families and the crèche staff. We only employ qualified or training childcare staff and we provide them with endless opportunities to advance in different childcare topics as it is the staff that is the most important resource. The crèche has been established to provide high quality standards to the children in our care. We are dedicated to providing an environment which will encourage development by exploration, learning and playing.
