Converted to day care centre

The former "Kids Camelot" indoor play area in Trafalgar Ave, Woy Woy, has been converted into a long day care centre.

Trading under the name "KidzKorp" the centre runs from 7.30am until 6pm and caters for working and non-working parents.

The centre is run by Corey Ashton and Michele Acreman.

Corey has a Diploma of Teaching, while Michelle has a Bachelor of Teaching, both specialising in early childhood development.

The centre commenced trading on November 23 and is capable of caring for a maximum of 59 children at any one time.

Much of the original play equipment remains and two new outdoors areas have been added.

It has been revamped with new developmental equipment installed.

A larger number of small toilets and new preschool furniture have been added, and safety padded flooring has been laid.

The centre employs 16 staff, eight of whom are from the Peninsula.

Corey previously owned a centre in Tumbi Umbi for over seven years and brought four of her staff with her to this new location.

"We knew the area was in need of more baby care spaces and found the ideal location," Corey said.

"We provide meals, sheets, nappies and bottles.

"People are welcome to visit and inspect at any time.

"After only one week trading, we only have a few spaces left available."
