About Us

Playgroup started in 1988 in the Sports and Social Club behind the Village Hall. In November 2005 we moved into our permanent home - a purpose built annexe of Longparish School which opens out onto its own fenced off outside area.

We have an entrance lobby where children leave their coats and wellies, a main playroom with wet play area, a quiet bay with a computer for children's use and a book corner, two children's toilets and a kitchen and staff room.

We were recently inspected by Ofsted, and we were very pleased with what they had to say.

"The setting runs very smoothly on a day-to-day basis. Ongoing reviews by the leadership ensure that resources are plentiful, varied, well used and well adapted to children’s needs "- Ofsted.

Outside we have planters and a garden area where we grow plants for all the senses, including fruit and vegetables we can eat.

We also have all weather safety surfacing, complete with a climbing frame and slide, so we can use the outside area all year round.

There is a bird table and a bird box with a camera in it which is connected to the children's computer. The children really enjoy watching the birds go about their daily business!
