Welcome to Naunton Park Pre-School Playgroup! We are a non-profit, community playgroup overseen by a committee of volunteers.
The playgroup has been operating within Naunton Park Primary School since 1984. We provide high-quality Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) education and a welcoming, creative environment. Although independent of the primary school, we benefit from extremely close links, which help our children with their transition to school.

Tuesday and Thursday 9.00am-3.30pm – Preschool children only (i.e. children who will turn 4 years old during that academic year).
Half day sessions from 9.00am – 12.00pm are available on all days.
Fees and funding – We accept the 30 hours working parent entitlement funding.
Non-funded hours are charged at £6.50 per hour.
