News Bulletins

This term we will start with a traditional tales topic. We will be focusing on well-loved stories such as The Gingerbread Man and Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

We are busy preparing our Little Acorns for school as they will soon start their primary schools in September. We are now taking bookings for the Little Acorns session in September (children who start school in September 2027 are eligible.)

We are proud to support families by accepting the Early Years Free Entitlement funding, ensuring that all eligible children can access high-quality early education. We place no restrictions on the number of sessions your child can attend within their funded hours, giving you the flexibility to choose the schedule that best suits your family’s needs. We have funded spaces for two-, three- and four-year olds available so if you would like to book a show-around please contact us by email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Ofsted Outstanding

In December 2022 we were delighted to receive the highly sought-after Outstanding grade from Ofsted with a very positive report. Yvonne, the playgroup supervisor who has managed the playgroup for 12 years, was delighted with the report, commenting, "I am so proud of my team as I know each one goes above and beyond to provide high quality care and education. But as pleased as we are right now, we don’t plan to rest on our laurels and we will continue to improve and work with our children and their parents to provide the best outcomes we can."
