- We are a Committee run Playgroup. Our staff are highly qualified and have trained in Pre-school Practice/NVQ3 , Music and Movement, Child Protection, First Aid, Special Needs and more.
- Most of our staff have been with Busy Otters for a long time, some exceeding 17 years, and we believe that continuity and stability plays a big part in the “early years” of a child’s development. This is reflected in our latest Ofsted inspection July 2004.
- We have a large room for physical play and educational activities, also a craft room with a sand tray, painting table, play-dough area and an arts and crafts table. We also have a safe and secure area for outdoor play, weather permitting
