A place for all children, growing and learning together

The Forest of Dean Children’s Opportunity Centre

The Forest of Dean Children’s Opportunity Centre is a charitable organisation that provides care, support and facilities for children with additional needs, as well as for those without. Our mission is to enable all children to grow and learn together in our childcare setting.

From 3 months to preschool, there is a place for everyone at the Opportunity Centre. 

Early years childcare

At the Opportunity Centre, we offer childcare for children from birth to school age. We are passionate about giving each child the best start during their early years and work hard to ensure all children are safe and happy in our care.

SEN support

As the parent or carer of a child with additional needs, you know the extra understanding, support and encouragement you require. Our Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) is there to ensure you and your little one feel supported at each stage of the journey.

Childcare all year round

Children who are eligible can attend all year round for Early Years care and learning.

Please enquire to manager@childoc.org.uk to see if you are eligible.
