The Duchy Preschool and Playgroup in Bradninch is renowned for providing quality child care, fun ways to learn and excellent Early Years education to 3, 4 and 5 year old children. We have an Outstanding report (click here to see our latest report) from Ofsted and our Managing Supervisor was one of the first qualified Early Years Professionals in the country.
Parents in Cullompton, Bradninch, Hele and surrounding areas of Mid Devon can access our very high quality services free of charge for each of their children and can top up the Local Education Authority funded sessions by paying for extra sessions or for children to stay at lunch time. We’re only 3 miles from Cullompton and children often make their first close friendships here. (Click here for a map)

In collaboration with the community we provide the services commonly found in:
· Playgroups and preschools
· Nurseries, so that working parents can get wrap around care
· Other child care including child minders, crèche.
Our relationship with the Duchy School means that your child can enjoy a seamless transition into school from Playgroup, reducing the stress and worry for parents.
