Attending St Mary's playgroup and other preschools
Children can attend St Mary's Playgroup as well as other preschools and nurseries - such a mix can then offer flexibility for working parents and Government preschool funding can be split across two or more organisations. Your childminder is also welcome to drop off and pick up your child at St Mary's
