We are a nurturing and vibrant pre-school for 2-5 year olds run in the village hall in the Sussex village of Upper Beeding, West Sussex.

We are a charity (registered charity No 1020931) established over 50 years ago. The playgroup is run by a dedicated and professional team of staff in partnership with a parent run volunteer committee. Together we are dedicated to making a safe, welcoming and stimulating environment for children to flourish in. We have a large bright hall and secure gardens and a comprehensive and exciting range of toys and equipment.
