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

Overton Playcentre provides childcare for children aged 18 months to 12 years old

We are registered to provide Funded Early Education for those children who turn 3 within the eligibility periods set by WCBC. We are also registered provider for the Childcare Offer for Wales.

Childcare can continue after their EE sessions in our wraparound playgroup plus provision where those attending the school Nursery Class (either the morning or afternoon session) can also join.
