About us
St George’s has been providing quality childcare for over 30 years, so we know a thing or two about looking after children. Most people come to us through recommendation and parents and carers (as well as their children) sing our praises – you can read some testimonials here
We offer a complete, flexible childcare service, 51 weeks of the year.
We were previously known as St George’s Community Children’s Project and changed our name to St George’s Childcare in 2017.

Engaging activities

Nutritious food
Our kitchen provides a variety of tasty, age-related, seasonal meals and snacks, freshly prepared on-site from locally sourced produce. Every child receives at least one tasty and nutritious hot meal each session, as well as healthy snacks and drinks.
