Welcome to Bugbrooke Village Hall Playgroup
( Address: Village Hall, High Street, Bugbrooke, NN7 3PG Tel: 01604 832347 )
We are a friendly, charity run Playgroup, which began in 1979, evolving from a mums and tots group that ran in the Village Hall. Having been in existence for over 30 years Playgroup has a great standing in the village with a huge sense of fondness amongst the villagers, with many of the parents of the children having attended the playgroup as children themselves.
The playgroup operates from Bugbrooke Village Hall, which is leased to the playgroup by the Bugbrooke Village Hall Charity on an exclusive basis. The Village Hall has a large enclosed rear garden with an all-weather outdoor shelter to which the children have sole access all day.
The Playgroup provides sessional care, five days a week during term time, for children from the age of 2 years until school acceptance.
It is important to us as a playgroup to provide the best care for the children attending and a great service to our village. In order for us to do this we employ a hardworking, knowledgeable, caring and friendly staff and enable them to better the service they provide through regular training and personal development.
We are constantly striving to improve and adapt to changing demands whilst providing safe, dependable and constant care for the children attending the playgroup. It is important to us as a playgroup to retain excellent parent contact and input. In our recent Ofsted report we were awarded outstanding for our parent involvement and good in all other areas, something which we very much credit our hardworking staff for. We are also a member of the Pre-school Learning Alliance.
The Bugbrooke Village Hall Playgroup mission is:
'To provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment for children to learn through creative play, acknowledging their individual needs, enabling them to develop to their full potential.
To encourage family interaction and maintain close contact with the primary school to manage a smooth transition from pre-school to foundation stage.'

All the members of the committee are extremely passionate about the playgroup and give up their time and energy for free to ensure the effective running of the playgroup. New Committee members needed - please get in touch if you are interested in helping to support and run the Playgroup.
