Childcare that Works for Your Family

At The Hen House, we offer reliable, flexible childcare that fits your schedule. From wraparound care at local schools to fun-filled holiday camps, our experienced team provides a safe and supportive environment where your child can thrive.

Wraparound Care

Breakfast and After School Clubs for Local Primary Children

As mothers ourselves, we understand the importance of finding the right childcare for your child.

That’s why we’re committed to providing Ofsted registered, dependable and nurturing environments where your little ones can learn and have fun — giving you peace of mind every step of the way.

We support children with their reading, helping them build confidence and a love for learning. We encourage kids to choose activities that spark their own interests, while also promoting outdoor physical activity in every session.

Plus, we ensure they enjoy balanced, nutritious meals to keep them energised and ready for the next adventure!
