Portland House has bright, spacious rooms that are highly resourced and are led by highly qualified and experienced practitioners. We encourage you to be involved throughout, from Stay and Plays to sharing those special moments from home. Working together you can be confident your child will reach their full potential.

The outside areas are imaginatively designed with nature trails and a tree house, providing fun and challenges for all age groups. With a home-cooked menu and plenty of outdoor play your child will develop both a healthy body and a healthy mind.

Portland House is home to the Fun Club . An after school and holiday club for primary school children with a Walking Bus collection service from local schools.
