Baby On Board

With funding from the Winchelsea Early Years Network, we have been able to install anchor points into the community bus and have purchased baby seats and toddler car seats.  These are for hire on the community bus.  With a gold coin donation, families are able to contact Winch House to have the community bus collect them to participate in our Coordinated Playgroup activities.  See CHILDRENS ACTIVITIES page.

Occasional Child Care

Winchelsea Occasional Childcare provides a safe and nurturing learning environment for all ages from six weeks to six years.  We aim to give parents a short break and for the children to gain new friends and more challenging experiences. Winch House is a non-profit organisation with very limited funding, so although we make it as affordable as possible there is a charge per session for child care.  See more information on our CHILD CARE page.
