Lovely little group Rated 5 out of 5
All 5 of my children have attended trinity over the last 12 years . It's a lovely little group,  i actually had to drive out of my way to take them there as other playgroups did not compare , the girls are amazing , all of the children thrived there . And learnt so much. And were so happy to go. I would highly recommend
