ST DUNSTANS COMMUNITY PLAYGROUP
The playgroup offers a childcare service to all the local community . We encourage parents to take part in activities such as family days, play days and annual trips. We hold fund raising events such as raffles at Easter and Christmas, themed discos, and quiz nights to raise money to buy equipment to enhance the learning and experiences of the children.
