Our Centre

Our location facing the stunning river Avon is magic. There on the hill sits this most gorgeous building brimming with enchantment and is home to our Millie’s House children.
Our ‘Millie’s Court House’ has been carefully refurbished with children, fun, comfort and safety in mind, whilst retaining and including many of the original enchanting features and textures of stone, wood panelling, beautiful ceilings, fixtures and fittings. It is a collaboration of old and new for our young ones.
A part of the Millie’s ethos is to keep group sizes small and intimate – especially when the children are young, so Millie’s Court House was designed to keep group sizes small and with great ratios, well above regulation. Our smallest babies (Rollers) are cared for with one teacher to three babies, our under two year old groups (Crawlers and Stompers) have one teacher to four children. Our two-year olds in Adventurers have one teacher to six children and our three and four year olds in Adventurers and Discoverers have one teacher to eight children.
The outdoor spaces are large, beautiful, and textured. How many centres do you know that have a river running past it and overlook a park? It is a wonderful place for children to sit and talk on a hill, enjoy the play structures, wallow in sand and invent ideas.
