Little Explorers Playgroup has been running Playgroup, Pre-school and Toddler sessions from Prestbury Pavilion for over thirty years with thanks and continued support of Prestbury Parish Council.
We are a community based; not-for-profit playgroup which means we are managed by a voluntary management committee. This is usually made up of parents whose children attend the group. We employ a fully qualified staff team most of whom are parents themselves.
Little Explorers is a member of the Gloucestershire PATA (Parent and Toddler Association).
