ABOUT LITTLE BUDS PRE SCHOOL
Our group has been established from almost 30 years and until September 2002 was known as Studlands Park Playgroup.
We are a voluntary committee run organisation with charitable status. Little Buds is registered with Ofsted to offer your child high quality education working towards the Early Learning Goals. We are also a full member of the Early Years Alliance and belong to the Suffolk Childcare Plan.
Our aim is to provide a happy, stimulating and safe environment. Children attending have the opportunity, at their own pace to develop and learn through play in activities which will enhance their physical, social, intellectual, communicative and emotional development. Your involvement is encouraged and appreciated at all stages.
