Quedgeley Little Meadows official opening 11th May

Originally just a small pre-school Little Meadows soon become very popular in Quedgeley as more and more young families took advantage of the ever needed service, which has meant that they needed a permanent home.

After a £7.3 million grant from the Government throughout the County last year they have now been able to have a purpose built pre-school building specifically for their needs.

The building includes two large play rooms, kitchens, reception, office, sensory room and a fantastic outdoor play area accessed through fold back screens.

Unique design features include a ‘mouse hole’ in the skirting boards and a ‘Meadowside Murual’ which the children enjoyed helping to create.

This building has meant that the pre-school has been able to increase the number of places on offer to 40 per session from 26, with two sessions a day.

As the Government offer 15 hours free nursery a week for three and four years olds this pre-school was essential for Gloucestershire to be able to meet this target.

Little Meadows will be officially opened by Ian Mead, Gloucestershire Media editor-in Chief. Jackie Hall will also be present along with all the families who are invited.

The opening of the pre-school also coincides with the groups 10th birthday so there has been a balloon release planned to commemorate this occasion and there has also been a cake donated.

I hope that all attend this event have a lovely day and I am glad that this much deserved group have now got a building which they are happy with.
