Quality Care
The Duke of Gloucester playgroup is a registered charity (no. 1060538).
​
The mandate of the playgroup is to;
​
'Enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through a community group'.
​
This constiution was adopted through membership of the Gloucestershire Playgroup and Toddlers Association (PATA ) , an educational charity set up to provide support and assistance to early years childcare providers in the voluntary managed sector.
Our setting believes that care and education are equally important in the experience that we offer children, The routines and the activities that make up the session in the setting are provided in ways that help show that each child is valued, ensures the safety of the child , helps children learn from the social experience of being part of a group and provides them with learning opportunities. Our sessions are organised with both child and adult led sessions.
