In the charity's own words
We provide Pre-school education to children aged from birth to 5 years old who live in and around the Whitchurch area Bristol. We do this by operating parent/carer and toddler groups in the Whitchurch Community Centre (First Steps for under 2's; Little Learners for children aged 2 years). Those aged 3 to 5 join our Ofsted Registered Pre-school, which is based in St Nicholas Church Hall.
