Overview
Noah’s Ark Pre-school Playgroup first opened in 1992 with a mission to deliver quality childcare in a safe and friendly environment. No one could imagine this would evolve into the extremely popular and successful playgroup that is Noah’s Ark Pre-school Playgroup, today.
Our primary objective is to be a fully inclusive setting for all children, staff, parents/guardians and the community.
Our playgroup is run in Holy Trinity church, with whom we have developed a good working relationship.
The playgroup is registered with OFSTED, Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership, the Early Years Alliance, Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and The Charities Commission.
At Noah’s Ark Playgroup we provide a welcoming, friendly atmosphere and a safe and enthusiastic environment where children develop confidence, independence and resilience through their play.
We are committed to providing experiences that challenge and enrich our children, be positive role models for the children in our care, instil morals and provide our children with the tools to become sociable, confident and fulfilled human beings. Above all we want Playgroup to be FUN.
