From the Noah's Ark Playgroup
The Noahs Ark Pre-school Playgroup was founded in 1992 with the goal of providing high-quality childcare in a welcoming setting. Nobody could have predicted that this would develop into the wildly successful and well-liked playgroup that is today's Noah's Ark Pre-school Playgroup. Our main goal is to provide a completely inclusive environment for all kids, staff, parents/guardians, and the community. We have a strong working relationship with the Holy Trinity Church, which owns the building where our playgroup is hosted. The Early Years Alliance, Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), The Charities Commission, Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership, and OFSTED all have records of the playgroup's registration.
