Samaritans Children's Services
Samaritans recognises the need for quality community child care and provides both centre based and Family Day Care services for children between 6 weeks and twelve years of age at a number of locations across the region.
Leaving your child in the care of Samaritans has many positives for both you and your children:
Non profit community based care means all care is focussed on your child and not on profit.
We promote the personal development of your child through play and learning that suits your child as an individual.
The willingness to include all children. We work within the ethos of equality and encourage the inclusion of children from all cultural and socio-economic backgrounds.
