A warm, engaging, joyful place to be after school.
AllSorts welcomes children aged 3–12 from local primary schools — for play, friendship and proper homemade snacks.
Who we are
AllSorts is a wrap around childcare service providing breakfast club, after school childcare, and holiday clubs for children aged 3–12 years.
We are a charity non-profit organisation and have proudly been part of the Duns community since 2005. Over the years, we have created a safe, welcoming, and fun environment where children can relax, play, be creative, and build friendships through a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities and experiences.
At AllSorts, we provide safe, fun childcare with a variety of engaging indoor and outdoor activities designed around children's interests and enjoyment.
We are regulated by the Care Inspectorate, and our full inspection reports can be viewed online.
