Our aim is to provide a happy, safe, warm and stimulating environment for all children to play, learn and develop freely.  Our aim is to respect every child as an individual regardless of gender, cultural background or ability. 

In accordance with the new OfSTED regulations, which came into force in September 2008, New Hope is registered  on the compulsory part of the Childcare Register as well as the voluntary part of the register.

• Run a school holiday club and Saturday club for all school holidays and every Saturday throughout the year.
• Provide a programme of activities that are interesting, educational, stimulating and fun.

• Changes to the directors of the company.
