Sedbergh Playgroup 2024 - 2025
The academic year began well in September with new children arriving and beginning their settling in period.
Session numbers have remained constant throughout the year and all sessions were full with a waiting list. Parents continue to look at their child’s development and learning through ‘Tapestry’.
We had a successful Open Morning, inviting parents of current children and those starting in September 2025.
Many thanks go to Joanne and Vikki for their great work which goes above and beyond in effort and time. Also to the parents, committee members and volunteers who support Playgroup in different ways throughout the year.
I have felt privileged to work with the staff, parents and children at Playgroup.
