We introduce PE sessions with Johnny and Max from the JH School of Sport and a weekly library book for each child in the pre-school year to assist them get ready for the move to school.

After working as a paramedic for more than ten years, Angela formerly served as the Administrator of the Thriplow Daffodil Weekend Committee.
Additionally, Angela provides "one-on-one" care for kids with medical requirements and is trained in emergency paediatric first aid, child protection, and food hygiene.
The administration, a volunteer parent committee, and a fantastic group of trained employees administer Ladybird Playgroup.
