Welcome to St Mary's Playgroup

St. Mary's Playgroup is a thriving, lively playgroup, established in 1975.

Founded in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, St Mary's believes that each child is an individual, with different needs and abilities.

We use the Highscope method of teaching, aiming to develop self-confident, independent children who can make decisions and solve problems on their own.

St Mary's aims to provide an environment where every child can develop emotional, intellectual, physical and social skills through structured play, art and music.

This we do without discrimination, where children regardless of race, culture, religion or means may play happily together.

Ofsted have judged us to be a strong provider and said the following about us :

"Children take part in a varied range of stimulating activities."

"As a result of the sensitive care offered, children are happy, secure and confident. Children are independent."

"Staff interaction and questioning encourages children to think and solve problems as they take part in both self-initiated and adult-led play activities."

"Partnership with parents is good. Children and their parents are warmly welcomed and play a full and active part in the playgroup. Good quality information is shared with parents to ensure they are fully conversant with how their child will be cared for and taught."

We currently have spaces available for September 2009 intakes. If you would like to come and meet us please contact Paula on 01666 503777 or via email.
