Kiddy Academy Hunts Cross was opened in 2011 and is located on Hansby Drive in the Meridian Business Village on Woodend Avenue. The building has undergone an extensive refurbishment prior to opening making it purposely designed for our children’s day nursery. This setting is registered for 84 children from ages 0-5 years.
The nursery has 3 large open plan nursery rooms and a fully fitted kitchen where meals are prepared with a separate children’s canteen area for the children to eat in. To the rear and side of the building there are 3 fully enclosed garden areas which can be accessed on a free flow basis by our ground floor rooms.
