Catering to children from 3 to 5 years old, KU Wickham provides enriching education and play-based learning with a focus on indepedence and building on childrens strengths through a risky play, sustainable and natural environment. A team of qualified and experienced teachers and educators deliver exciting child-led programs that foster essential school readiness, in addition to creativity, imagination and resilience.

Located in a beautiful, heritage building, the centre focuses heavily on an indoor/outdoor approach, celebrating childrens autonomy and choice, and being able to move freely between the two environments. Rich and open ended resources provide opportunities for creativity, imagination, focus and collaboration whilst within an inclusive play based environment.

Children spend long periods of time playing and appreciating the great outdoors both at the centre and in the wider local community. The wonderful outdoor space features trees and vegetable gardens, and children can garden, play in mud, climb trees, and create, experiment and develop a sense of ownership and responsibility for our environment.

Located in Newcastle’s historic east end, the centre is close to buses and the tram, with parking at hand. Why not book a tour of this enriching and inspiring centre today?
