It is situated just off the main A390 approximately seven miles east of the city of Truro and nine miles from St Austell with regular bus services to both of these. The village itself has all the facilities required for everyday needs including a Post Office, garage, farm shop, grocery shop, public house, Indian restaurant, Chinese takeaway, hairdressers, school and a fish and chip shop. There is also an extremely good doctors' surgery. Probus is within the catchment area of the Ofsted rated Outstanding Roseland Academy secondary school at Tregony. The village is also easily accessible to the picturesque Roseland Peninsula and many of the beaches along the South Cornish coast.

All this, plus living and working locally, makes us uniquely and comprehensively qualified. Three of the staff were born locally.
