About Us
We are a Pre-school Playgroup based in South Ealing, close by to Grange Primary School and Grange Children's Centre. We are a registered charity who believe that exposing children to different environments, various learning experiences, and focusing on their strengths and interests, will allow them to gain a sense of the world around them and develop their skills.
​
Being run by a parent governing committee, we work with Ofsted guidance on the education and care of all our children.
Our Location
Church Place, Ealing, W5 4HN
