support to the children and families. The children
have the feeling of a comforting companion by
their side in their discoveries .
Families benefit from the person centred activities
that are only possible with the help and support of
older carers and qualified staff, all working together
in a nurturing environment.
An environment founded on the values of
solidarity and respect.
