Overview

Staff aim to value diversity, promote equality and remove barriers to learning. We continuously strive to ensure that everyone in our Playgroup is treated with respect and dignity. Creating an ethos which is caring and inclusive.

Oakfield Pre-school is run by a management committee. It opened in 1992 and operates from a large hall in Vine Church Hall Ilford, Essex. The church is located within close proximity to Ilford Shopping Centre. A maximum of 50 children may attend the pre-school at any one time. The pre-school is open each weekday from 09:00 to 12:00 and 12:30 to 15:30 term time only. The children have access to an enclosed Indoor/outdoor play area.  All staffs are well qualified and trained.  Oakfield playgroup aim to provide a wide range of play opportunities and a balanced curriculum.
