About us:
Natural Play Children’s Centre is a boutique 25 place Centre with a home-like environment and an inspiring atmosphere, catering for children aged between 2 - 5yrs. Nestled amid natural surroundings in Berry our children often enjoy nature walks; we play in the rain, have mud shirts to enjoy the mess and use real tools. We value strong, consistent relationships with children with a dedicated and supportive team of educators. We are a family owned and operated centre with a focus on quality early education, and equipping our children with self-confidence and a strong sense of belonging.
Natural Play is purpose built with a focus on bringing nature in. We are big on sustainability; we have an enchanting space with ‘built-in’ tanks to house our pets and even have an in-house tree!
