Our detached home is situated at the top of the quiet Fleetwing estate on the edge of Durrington in Worthing. We are conveniently located next to the A27 and near High Salvington, Findon and the A24. We have parking on the driveway and ample parking on a very quiet road right outside the house for parents. We have a large secure rear garden, and I share my home with my husband Ray and our 1 year old daughter. Not forgetting Jesse, a lovely mature cat.
Our bright welcoming play room has an assortment of toys including toys from the toy library, ball pit, easel and a home corner. It has a secure door to the garden where we have lots of fun outside toys, including a slide and sand pit and a bird table to feed the birds. One of our play rooms is also our quiet room ideal for a rest on the bean bag or sofa after school. It has a computer/tv for use with parental permission.
Messy play is great fun too, we do painting, sticking, cutting, flour play, gloop play, pasta play, cooking and much more…..
