Clutton playgroup is a pre-school learning alliance registered playgroup.

Based at The Cabin in Clutton, we provide a safe and enjoyable setting for children aged 2.5 years to school age, for families in the village and wider area.

Children are encouraged to learn through play in a homely environment, our site boasts a large outdoor play area and is safely nestled away from main roads and pathways, which allows children to play and explore securely.

Come rain or shine, it is important to us that our children have the opportunity to play outdoors as much as possible.

We actively encourage child-led play as well as offering more structured activities, such as messy play and arts and crafts, so that children can test their own ideas and learn new skills.

We have been serving the community with quality, affordable pre-school education based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) since 1968 and we welcome all children and families into our inclusive setting.

As a registered charity (Charity no. 1025259) run by our voluntary committee, all profits are re-invested into the playgroup to benefit the children.

We are regularly inspected by Ofsted and have received good reports.

Our Aims:

  • To foster a love of learning by encouraging children’s natural curiosity and love of exploration in a safe and stimulating environment.
  • To enhance the development and education of children in a parent inclusive, community-based group.
  • To work within a framework which ensures equality of opportunity for all children.

Parental involvement

Not only is your child a part of our playgroup – so are you! We promote parental involvement at all levels which includes inviting parents, or carers, into the playgroup once a term on a rota basis. Previous parents and carers have expressed just how enjoyable this has been to see their child play and learn.
