Old School Playgroup

The Old School Playgroup is a friendly setting that offers both morning and afternoon sessions. We are situated in an Old School and offer large, bright rooms and a large outside playground. We are able to provide funded spaces for 2 3 and 4-year-olds. We have the recent addition of a new classroom which is bright and airy and has allowed us to offer more places.

Other notes

We welcome all children, irrespective of race, culture, additional needs or first language. We have many children who speak English as an additional language who we support to learn spoken English alongside their first language. Our nursery supports children from age 2 to rising 3's and our preschool supports children aged 3 to 4 years old, the year before they start in School Reception class. Many of our children move on to local schools such as Harold Wood Primary, Harold Court Primary and Ardleigh Green school after preschool.
