Feedback from Leavers
- My son has absolutely loved every day and grown in every way. The staff are very professional and could not be better with the children. An amazing environment to learn and grow in. Very bright, clean, organised and loving place for child and parent.
- I have been recommending Stratton Playgroup to friends and family since 2012, when my eldest child was there. All the staff really care about the children who attend and their safety. Mine never wanted to come home.
- The care you have shown my daughter with her additional needs have put myself and her dad at ease.

- A little note from Harri (staff member) - Dec-2018: I will be leaving playgroup in the New Year, I have decided to take some time out of the work world to look after my young family. I have loved working at Stratton Playgroup and I wouldn't want to work anywhere else! I will miss the staff and children, but I will still see everyone when my son starts playgroup in the future, and when I help out as parent helper from time to time.
