ABOUT US
We know and understand how important your child is and he/she is important to us too. We aim to deliver the highest quality of care and education to help them achieve their best potential.
We aim to work together with you, to meet your child's individual needs.
We are a private and voluntary playgroup. All fees and funds raised are used to meet the costs associated with running our playgroup.
We are a member of the Early Years Alliance (EYA), who are a recognised national organisation providing information for parents, support and information for the committee and staff as well as staff training. We promote learning through play, as the children are having fun they play, learn, enjoy new experiences and tackle challenges.
Our staff are trained to OFSTED and EYA recommended standards and we are registered under the Children's Act of 1989 and 2004. We are inspected by OFSTED, inspections run in a 6 year inspection window (see latest report from 2023 Ofsted report details)
