GOTHAM PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP
Set in a small South Nottinghamshire village, Gotham Pre-School Playgroup provides a safe, stimulating and educational environment for pre-school children of all abilities and cultures. The playgroup is now based within the local primary school and accepts children from the age of 2 from the local and surrounding area. Children wishing to attend alternative local primary schools are also welcome.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity generated a profit of £15,769 for the year, with total income of £112,039.71 against expenditure of £96,270.28.
