About this cause

We are a community playgroup, providing early education and childcare for children aged 2.5 years to school age. We have an after school club one afternoon per week. We are run by a parent committee and employ professional staff. We aim to provide the highest possible childcare, a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for children, parents and other carers. We provide a safe, stimulating environment where children are encouraged to develop and learn at their own rate, in their own time. We encourage children happily to leave carers; learn to socialise and communicate with peers and adults successfully; develop self respect; be motivated and engaged in their learning; and develop qualities of independence, resilience and self reliance. We ensure that every child achieves his or her potential.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We have a good reputation locally for supporting families who find paying for childcare difficult, and for supporting older people who look after their grandchildren. We also subsidise families who cannot afford our (modest) fees and would like to continue this. To continue our work, we would like to extend our hours so that we can open for longer and also continue to provide our summer school.
