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.
*When playgroups open all day, they do not usually offer the full range of services like a day nursery does, nor do they cater for the same age range. For example, they don’t provide childcare for babies from birth onwards or provide 3 meals a day.

Who do we support

We provide Flying Start sessions for children aged 2-3 years, and wraparound childcare for those who are aged 3-4 attending Early Education or Nursery class sessions, at local schools within walking distance.
