TRIBACentre Description
The centre will be divided into 2 distinct areas, TRIBAchild and TRIBAmother.
The mother (the member) will arrive at the centre and "check-in" her child into TRIBAchild.

The child will either participate in some form of pre-arranged extra-mural activity (such as ballet, karate or swimming) or simply settle into the childcare area where he will be looked after by qualified childminders.

Once the mother is happy that her child is settled, she will leave TRIBAchild and enter TRIBAmother through a separate reception area. Here she will be welcomed and pampered.

She may simply wish to do some on-line shopping in TRIBAoffice, or catch up on the latest news in TRIBAlibrary, or read some minutes from work in the TRIBAsensorygarden, or have a cup of tea and a sandwich in TRIBAcafe before her manicure in TRIBAspa, or she may be desperate for a half an hour nap in TRIBAsleep.

Whatever her desire, and no matter whether she plans on being at the centre for 15 min or 3 hours, her child will be equally well cared for and nurtured whilst she "claims" time and space.
