About Us

Bridge Village Playgroup is much-loved childcare setting based in Bridge Village Hall, where it has operated for almost 40 years. We provide a friendly, safe, and stimulating environment for children aged 2 to 5 to enjoy their early years of education. 

We have a wonderful team of experienced staff, most of whom have worked at the Playgroup for many years.  The warm and nurturing environment at Bridge Village Playgroup comes from the staff and it is why Parents often feel that Playgroup is another family for the children.

We believe strongly in the importance of play, and support all the children in their development through exploring, investigating, creating, and communicating and the children's individual needs and interests are nurtured and extended.


The Setting

We are a ‘pack-away’ setting, meaning at the beginning of each day all the equipment and toys are brought out and set up in the village hall, and at the end of the day everything is put away again.  


Whilst the Playgroup is based within the Village Hall, it also has use of the small outside area. This is supplemented by regular trips to the recreation ground and walks around the village, or to the local allotment.
