“Our aim is to provide a safe, friendly environment for 2 to 8 year olds to enjoy, play and learn through various activities.”

Welcome to Hook Norton Pre-School Playgroup. Our Playgroup was delighted to receive an Outstanding OFSTED report in September 2010. This is in addition to consistently receiving Very Good OFSTED reports since it was first inspected in 1997. We have a wide catchment area attracting children from Great Rollright, Swerford, Wigginton, Milcombe and Bloxham as well as from Hook Norton itself. In addition to pre-school services we also offer School Holiday Clubs and After School Clubs for children aged up to 11. Please contact us for details. We have funded places for three-year-olds – please contact us for more information. Our Parents Information Pack can be downloaded here.

Playgroup Activities

Children learn through play in a safe stimulating environment.  The toys and equipment at Playgroup provide opportunities for children, with adult support, to develop new skills and concepts in the course of their play and exploration.  The equipment we provide is appropriate for the ages and stages of the children and offers challenges to developing physical, social, personal and intellectual skills.  The range of equipment will enable children to develop individual potential and move towards required learning goals.

A unique feature of the Playgroup is its extensive outdoor space.  We are very proud of our new sensory garden, which provides a safe, stimulating and tactile environment for the children to play in all year round.  They are involved in all aspects of planting to help enhance their understanding of the outdoor world.
