We are a Christian pre-school playgroup providing Early Years Education for boys and girls aged 2 to 5 years. Our wide range of daily activities are designed to make sure that young children develop a good range of skills and gain positive attitudes to learning - providing the building blocks for life-long learning. Children are encouraged to develop skills and knowledge through first-hand activities allowing them to experiment and play - both indoors and outdoors.
