What we do

Playgroup, sometimes known as Preschool is childcare where children usually aged 2 years to school age are cared for, rather than care being provided for babies or toddlers.

Typically, playgroups operate from community centres, school sites or church buildings during school term-time only, however, some do operate all year round. Opening times can vary from short daily sessions of 2-4 hours or halfdays to all day*. Many offer a wraparound session (where they can drop off or collect your child from school) for children who are part-time in a local primary school.

Who do we support

Children attending the school Nursery Class can stay in Playgroup Plus either the morning or afternoon session. In-between the nursery and playgroup sessions they can stay in the lunch club with their own packed lunch.

(The playcentre can also provide full day care and is open from 8am to 6pm)

Closed Bank Holidays and for the week between Christmas and New Year.
