At YMCA Childcare Water Lane, Lowestoft we provide support for children between the ages of two and five years-old, with spaces available for up to 50 children.

Water Lane provides stimulating, exciting areas to play in and encourages children to share ideas and gain valuable social and language skills with peers and staff through play. Rated as ‘Good’ with ‘Outstanding’ features by Ofsted, we are very proud of the excellent childcare support that is offered at Water Lane.

Water Lane is split into two rooms:

Both rooms provide a wide range of sensory experiences and encourage children to explore, share ideas, and gain valuable language and social skills. Each room also has its own dedicated outside space, where children can further their learning and development.
