Welcome to Little Saplings Pre-School. We have been in existence in various guises for over 25 years, starting as a Mother and Toddler group, developing into a Playgroup and subsequently the Pre-School it now is.


The Pre-school is situated in the grounds of Goldington Green Lower School. The spacious accomodation, both inside and out, enables us to offer  a stimulating and well resourced learning environment that is constantly evolving as our children develop and mature.We are very pleased out our large secure outside area.The large garden offers various amenities to the children which includes a quiet area, story telling corner, sensory garden, digging area, sandpit, mound and slide, large covered patio area which incorporates a variety of surface based activities,all of which permit and encourage the children to ''''''''free flow'''''''' inside and out. In 2003 we successfully achieved P.L.A ACCREDITED STATUS, as well as   being involved in the Sure Start scheme.
