KINGSHURST CATERPILLARS CIO 

We provide care and education for children aged between 2 and 4 years old in a safe and secure environment. Children are helped to develop all aspects of their development. They are helped to overcome any disadvantage. Activities take place both indoors and outdoors. We provide this service during term time only, with 2 sessions of three hours each day
