GREAT SHEFFORD UNDER FIVES
We run a Pre-School 3 days a week, term time, plus a Baby & Toddler group once a week at the Village Hall. The group provides educational and social activities for young children plus an opportunity for local families to meet and socialise in our rural area. We are inspected by Ofsted and supported by the West Berkshire Early Years team. We are a member of the Early Years Alliance.
