Keep Chesterton Playgroup open
Chesterton Playgroup has been a cherished part of village life for over 52 years, supporting generations of families and providing a warm, nurturing environment for young children. Today, our playgroup is thriving - with five dedicated staff members, four committed trustees, and one of the busiest intakes we’ve seen in years.
We are devastated to have received an eviction notice at the end of June.
Please sign our petition to keep our playgroup open.		 Applying for a place to join Chesterton Playgroup
Chesterton Playgroup cannot currently accept bookings at the moment until the future of our setting has been secured. You can fill in an application to join form and send it in to be put on the waiting list. We will update the community as soon as we have news.
