At Playaway Pre-school we work in partnership with parents/carers to ensure you and your child feel happy and secure in a caring atmosphere and our aim is to provide a stimulating and challenging environment for young children.

We provide your child with a wide and varied range of fun experiences to enhance and maximise their learning potential. We also enjoy exploring and making use of the local community, and we like to investigate our new garden everyday if we can, some days it's just not possible as it's too cold or wet to go outside.
