ABOUT US
HOW IT ALL BEGAN....

Playgroup began on the Four Oaks Primary School site approximately 30 years ago with a group of friends meeting informally.  In 2005 we moved to the current building which we are all very proud of.  We have a fantastic newly renovated outdoor play area which the children enjoy each session.  

"A child's life is like a piece of paper; on which every person leaves a mark."

Widely regarded as one of the best pre-school childcare facilities around Four Oaks and Sutton Coldfield, we have children travelling from as far as Boldmere, Erdington, Walmley and New Oscott for our fantastic facilities and warm, caring staff team. We have a very low staff turnover, so your child can really bond with with key worker and is sure to see the same friendly faces each session across their time at playgroup. As a charity, we are not-for-profit and reinvest all monies raised back in to wonderful facilities for our children.

OUR AUNTIES

Our team of aunties are very dedicated and enjoy helping the children to learn through play encouraging their independence, confidence and development of social skills.  Each staff member is fully qualified to communicate the Early Years Foundation Stages.
