A playgroup for pre-school aged children runs on
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
mornings, from 9.30am and 12.30pm, during school
term times.
We are registered with Ofsted to take up to 32 children per session and have a minimum of 5 staff working with the children each morning.
Parents are encouraged to get involved through the Patents’ Rota when they can spend a morning at Playgroup and we also have two parents on the Management Committee.
