How important is developmental play, where children actually feel like they're in the space?

Here at the house, we have child-led learning, where children feel like they're in their own space. At the bakery, our children feel like they're at a real bakery. Just like mum and dad having a coffee and ordering their croissant. They absolutely love this space.

Our organic market is probably the highlight of this centre. Children take their grocery basket, go to the cash register and enjoy make-believe, child-led play.

A walk through the play spaces

Child-led, make-believe play

In the house, children feel like they're in their own space. At the bakery they order a croissant, just like mum and dad. At the market they take a basket and pay at the register.

The bakery and market are role-play spaces. Real meals are cooked fresh in our kitchen. About our food

What you'll find inside

Storybrooke has been designed to feel calm, warm and welcoming. Natural textures, gentle colours and carefully arranged spaces invite children to explore, play and rest throughout their day. With an indoor–outdoor play space and visits to the nearby park, children enjoy the best of both worlds: exploring nature, feeling the sand and grass beneath their feet, and sharing simple moments like picnics together.

  • Renovated learning rooms for four age groups
  • Indoor–outdoor play with climbing, slides and a bike track
  • Role-play bakery, market, café, hospital and house
  • A centre kitchen where our cook prepares meals daily
  • Regular visits to a nearby park
