Fittleworth Playgroup and Baby Room is a committee-run playgroup for children aged 3 months to 4 years old. The Playgroup, which has been caring for pre-school children for over 40 years, prides itself on offering good quality and affordable care, with an emphasis on learning through play. Our highly trained and dedicated staff ensure that each session is jam-packed with activities and experiences that will enable the children to develop, whilst enjoying their time with us.
Fittleworth Playgroup is a charity 1057649 and, as such, keeps its fees low, investing any profits and/or funds straight back into the Playgroup. In the last five years we have invested in new, purpose-built premises, a large outdoor climbing frame, a sensory garden with grow-your-own and initiated a programme of key skills development including Music, Fun phonics, French & Technology for Tots. Our state-of-the-art building, situated behind Fittleworth Village School, offers a safe and secure environment with plenty of outdoor space and dedicated parking.
With the help of the Big Lottery Fund we’re delighted to open our doors to children as young as 3 months old. Our Baby Room offers a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment for babies and toddlers up to the age of two years.
In our Ofsted inspection of April 2017 we were delighted to have been awarded a ‘Good’ rating and feel it showed the ongoing happy and successful atmosphere of the Playgroup, as the below comments from Ofsted reflect:
“Children are happy and settle quickly into the routine when they arrive. They have secure relationships with staff who are attentive and caring”.
“The children have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe”.
Staff support children’s learning well. They provide the tools they need to lead their play and allow them time to use their imaginations”.
“All children make good progress in preparation for future learning and their move to school”.
