St Jude's Playgroup

For parents looking for a place for their children to mix with others before starting school, I would recommend St Jude's Playgroup on St George Road (originally created by Save the Children 20-25 years ago). They accept children from the age of 2 and a half upto school age (4-5). St Jude's has a very small budget, so they charge £21 (twenty one pounds) a week, but it is open from 9-9.30am to 12pm and twice a week till 3pm, i.e. caring for your child for a pound an hour, a bargain. Again, as they are only 2 working there (Carol and Vi), parents are asked to cover several rotas a month. But all children I know (including my daughter) have been able to settle very easily at school. And most of all they all seem HAPPY when they are here. Unfortunately, all playgroups grants have been lowered and not being advertised they are now in a difficult financial position, not having enough funding nor kids. So if you are looking for a place for your toddler to have fun, please contact St Jude's Playgroup on 020 7928 4534.
