we are twyford playgroup

A charity run, community pre-school in the heart of Twyford, for children aged 2 years 6 months to school age.

We are a charity run pre-school in the heart of Twyford. We have been providing a wonderful early years environment for pre-school children in the local area for over 40 years.

We are proud of the safe, nurturing environment we provide children whilst preparing them for school.

Children demonstrate that they feel very happy and emotionally secure. They sing their welcome song with warmth and caring as they greet each other and staff in the morning.

Outdoor learning really is central to our ethos – our children have an allotment in the village, two outdoor spaces including a sensory garden, as well as regular use of Hunter Park and Ballard Close Playing Field.

We believe in child led play and first hand experiences as a powerful means to drive childrens’ learning forward. We balance this with well-structured mat times and group activities so that the children have a high quality experience of the EYFS curriculum.

We have very good links with schools in the local area and the majority of our children progress on to Twyford St Mary’s, Twyford School, Compton All Saints, Otterbourne C.E, and Owslebury Primary.

We also have a great relationship with Twyford Tots so you may know us already!

Whether you’re new to the group or already part of the community then please come on in and see what’s happening at Twyford Playgroup.

Please note, in order to ensure new children settle well, and to support our older childrens’ transition to school, we do not accept any new joiners under 3 in the final half term of the academic year (May half term – July).
