Playgroup

Since September 1999 Pulham St. Mary and Pulham Market Playgroups have merged to form a single 'Pulhams Playgroup'. Two separate venues remain for Playgroup sessions. On Mondays and Thursdays they are held at Pulham St. Mary Village Hall and on Tuesdays and Fridays, at Pulham Market Memorial Hall. On all days they run from 09:30 until 12:00, and BOTH, cover a full curriculum that will be adapted to the needs of each individual child, through observation and record keeping. All sessions,at BOTH venues,are conducted by the same team of trained staff, which ensures continuity and security for all age groups.

We are inspected annually by Social Services and also comply with Ofsted inspections, which allow us to claim Government funding for the term after children reach 4 years old.

We accept children from 2 yearsand 6 months old, and we are a registered charity, with a parent-run committee.

For further information please contact Mrs Nicola Hilton, phone 01379 608252, Mobile 07712801452.
