Our daughter started at Acton playgroup in September and we could not be happier with how she has settled into the environment. We prepared ourselves for what we thought would be a difficult transition; having only ever left her in the company of family; but we need not have been so worried. We were made to feel at ease from the very first visit; all the staff are approachable, professional and experienced. After only a short time our little girl's confidence in social situations, together with her speech content, has improved considerably. She has made new friends and speaks fondly of her time with both her peers and adults.  The playgroup uses an online learning journey to document observations in line with the EYFS. This not only enables effective parent-teacher communication, it is also an invaluable resource to enable parents and carers to see what their child gets up to at playgroup - offering much needed reassurance, especially during the settling in period. Our daughter starts school next year and the playgroup have already started to support parents and children in preparing for the transition to reception class. The staff are passionate about supporting and encouraging each child in their learning journey; recognising and rewarding their achievements, and providing them with a range of learning opportunities in their everyday practice.

Our toddler has settled very well into Acton playgroup. He has a great relationship with his key worker Kim and the other members of the team. There is so much support and everyone is frendly and welcoming. It's a fantastic evvironmrnt for playing and learning. The tapestry online learning journal is fantastic, it gives an insight into what our toddler gets up to I his sessions and monitors his progress. We love Acton playgroup!

Both of my children have attended this setting and loved it. They offer an exciting range of activities and experiences, while also engaging in children's interest. The staff develop excellent relationships with both children and parents. They both support and challenge children to encourage good development in all areas of learning. Communication with parents is excellent. I have also worked with this setting in a professional capacity when children from Acton Playgroup have transferred to my Reception class. I have been impressed with their expert knowledge of the children in their care and the support they offer for transition. As a mother and an early years teacher I highly recommend Acton Playgroup.

Acton Playgorup is a brilliant playgroup which treats all children individually. Both my children have attended here and we would highly recommend them. They have a professional approach and nuture the children to become their own characters while providing them with great life skills and foundations for school. Preparation for school is excellent and the transitions from playgroup to reception class is seamless. Submitted: 20/07/2019
