Our mission statement
Within a happy, caring and supportive environment, we aim to provide creative, stimulating and age appropriate play and activities to promote the well-being and social, emotional, physical and intellectual development of pre-school children. We are a fully inclusive community run group with charitable status, which is registered with Ofsted. All families are welcome to participate in both the Playgroup and Babies and Toddlers group by attending sessions and additionally, if they wish, becoming helpers, committee members or taking part in the various fund raising and social activities.

Our aims
We aim to provide quality childcare and education at the heart of the village community. We view and treat every child as an individual, playing alongside and following their interests and passions - because that's the way they learn best. We support parents, as we believe that parents are the chief educators of all children. We have a vision for a seamless transition from babyhood, through the toddler stage into early childhood and through to school. We have close links with the local primary school and make every effort to ensure that the transition from playgroup to school is smooth and exciting for all our children. If you want to read more please access our parents' handbook, or our policies.
