Toddler club

Stay & play

In Summer you’ll find us in the garden, where the children can tunnel in the sand or cook up a feast in our mud kitchen. As the weather gets colder we meet on the mezzanine of the Sports Hall where there are all kinds of toys for little ones to enjoy and investigate.

Staff from our Pre-School are always on hand to answer questions you may have about starting at Great Walstead. However, there’s no obligation – Toddler Club is open to everyone.
