About Us

Wellow Under Fives has been running since 1967.  The group consists of the Jelly Tots toddler group, a fun weekly session for parents and children from birth and the preschool, a friendly community playgroup suitable for children from 2 1/2 until starting school.

The preschool operates within the Wellow Village Hall which provides a tranquil setting for the group with plenty of space and an enclosed garden.

Wellow Under Fives is a registered charity run by a committee made up from parents of children attending the group, all of which are volunteers.

Committee meetings are held on the first Monday of each month, the Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held in October. All parents are expected to attend. It is illegal for the preschool to operate without a committee.

The group is registered with Ofsted to receive children aged between 2 years 6 months and 5 years and the maximum number per session is 24.

The preschool employs 4 permanent part-time members of trained staff. Fees are payable per term in advance at the start of each new term.

We are a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance and are registered with Ofsted (URN 511102).
