Parents are always made to feel welcome with an open door for any questions you may have about your child’s develop and settling. Great community links with the church and nursing home next door, she loves visiting the elderly people and seeing how happy a nursery song makes them! A fantastic fairy hunt, Christmas plays, and upcoming 50th anniversary celebration. She is my youngest of three girls, all of whom have benefitted from the support of St Catharine's Playgroup.
