Fledgelings Playgroup

Overview

Fledgelings Preschool provides a welcoming and stimulating environment where children aged 2–4 years learn through curiosity, play, and exploration. Our experienced and qualified staff offer high-quality care for both funded and non-funded children.

Situated within the grounds of Dunham on Trent Primary School, we offer flexible morning, afternoon, and full-day sessions. We have created a bespoke curriculum which is supported by a wide range of resources and play-based activities that promote children’s development and enjoyment of learning. Our outdoor shelters enable children to access outdoor provision in all weathers.
