Kids love to have lots of fun things to do - happy kids mean happy parents.
Castle Kids is one of the first nurseries in Cornwall to achieve the outstanding status in every category under new inspection criteria, and is the latest fully Ofsted registered day care facility to open in St Ives.
In addition to the extremely well equipped nursery, children attending Castle Kids also benefit from the supervised use of the two swimming pools on site, not to mention the sub-tropical gardens, adventure playground and vast open spaces the grounds provide. Ages catered for range from new born babies to children aged 10 and there are stimulating activities geared towards each age group.
We are all delighted and extremely proud of our achievements and the feedback we have received from Ofsted. This is all due to the hard work and dedication of the staff team and the contribution of the children and parents.
Castle Kids is open all year round.
