Our upcoming theme will be Trains and Transport. The children will explore different types of trains, learn about journeys and destinations, and take part in fun train-themed activities. We will enjoy stories, creative crafts, role-play train journeys, and exciting opportunities to develop our language, imagination, and early mathematical skills.

We are looking forward to Christmas and the festivities. We are organising the Santa Grotto at the Box Christmas Market (Sunday 6th December). It was a fantastic success last year and well worth bringing the children along to meet Santa, so please come along if you can.

If your child is starting school in September 2027 you may be interested in our very popular Little Acorns session which runs every Tuesday. 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 or a stay-and-play session 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."
