Hatfield Broad Oak Under Fives is a charity run Preschool, which opened in 1972, of which seventeen years has been within the grounds of St. Marys C of E Primary School in Hatfield Broad Oak. We are regularly inspected by Ofsted, we are also a member of the Preschool Learning Alliance (PLA) and are eligible for government funding. As a charity run Preschool, we also depend on the good will of parents and their involvement to keep the Preschool going.
It is our aim to provide the best possible education and loving care for children within a warm and stimulating environment. It is important that each child be given the opportunity and encouragement to develop to their full potential, being seen as a total human being with physical, emotional and mental needs all bound up within each other.
Whist at Griffon, the children learn through fun and play, in a family environment following the four areas of learning: unique child, positive relationships, enabling environment and language & development, as per Ofsted guidelines. We will work with you and your child to make sure the settling in time at the nursery is managed with care and sensitivity. We look forward to meeting you and having the chance to show you how we put our principles into practice.

I've tried to cover as many things about Kiddiwinks on this website as I can to give you some basic information about me, my setting and an idea as to how I work. Please have a look through the pages and feel free to give me a shout if there's any questions I've not answered!
Our nurseries are organised around different age groups of children. The children in our day care learn and develop very well in our safe and secure nursery environment. They are happy and respond well to the wide range of activities planned for their time at the nursery. We also place great importance on the interaction between our nursery staff and parents. We provide a wide range of play activities which enable the children to reach their goals.
Your child will come to a safe, friendly, caring and open household. Your child will be given every opportunity to be involved in all types of learning and interactive activities. These could be anything from acting and role play, to cooking, arts and crafts, music or even outings to parks, playgroups, libraries and local places of interest. All activities support the new Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines set out by the government in September 2012.
Over the five years we have been running, it has grown considerably and we are struggling to run it to the high standards we promised ourselves at the beginning without compromising our other commitments, and although we are doing very well, feel it would be wiser to call it a day on the agency rather than change anything else currently. We are very sad as it has been amazing being able to help our best nannies find some perfect jobs and be happy, and vice versa.
