How it Works

Registration, booking, and payment are all online, and you can choose your times with as little as one hour’s notice.

The centre is open from Monday to Fridays, 8am – 6pm, with hours split between the 2 age groups. We are closed on stat holidays, and for three 4-day weekends in the year.
