Day nursery

General Details

Badingham Playschool is a well established nursery school with experienced, well qualified staff offering quality, affordable childcare to families in Badingham, Framlingham and surrounding villages and towns. We work closely with parents/carers to ensure children settle well and get the most from their pre-school experience. Our curriculum is very varied and is led by children's interests and needs. We believe that children need to connect with nature and their communities so we spend a lot of time outside exploring the local area and providing an educational approach to outdoor play in the beautiful rural environments around us. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic we have been based in our Framlingham setting and we have been open continuously providing care for local families. We have good links with a large number of local primary schools and strive to ensure a good transition for each child. We were Awarded Suffolk County Council Early Years Educational Setting of the Year 2019 in recognition of the quality of experience that Playschool staff achieve for children that attend and the support we provide for families.

We are a charity that was set up over 40 years ago. We are a not-for-profit organisation which gives us a very different ethos to privately run nurseries.

Age range; children from 3 months to 5 years old. We provide free sessions for funded 2, 3 and 4 year old children. Staff have experience of a range of special educational needs and disabilities. Every one is welcome at Playschool.

Our funded childcare offer is as flexible as we can make it so you can maximise the childcare you can access for free.

Fantastic Playschool

I highly recommend this fantastic Playschool. The staff are all great, they always do the very best for the children with lots of activities, outside time, crafting etc and nothing is too much trouble. They are knowledgable and work so hard. They provide lunches and breakfast should you require along with 8am or 830am starts and 430pm or 5pm finishes. There is holiday play scheme days too. Even during this current ‘lockdown’, staff are looking after key workers children and providing support, and advice for the rest of us.These ladies are my heroes.

Amazing staff. My boys love it.

Both of my boys attend Badingham Playschool. F went from 20 months old and H went from 13 months old. Both boys enjoy their days at Playschool so much. The staff are amazing. The children have access to so many different learning activities. They have both thrived being in this environment.
