Due to lots of little ones moving on to nursery we have a few rare spaces available.

The cost of our week is £37.50 or sessions are £10 and a minimum of 2 days is required.
You can claim tax free childcare scheme to get 20% paid or can claim the childcare element on universal credit.

As a partner of West Lothian council we can offer places that would be fully funded, conditions do apply but it’s all worth the 2 minutes it takes to apply to see if you are eligible and your child’s place would become funded saving you some pennies. Please name us as your choice to ensure you are placed with us.

Have a look at the link below, when completing for a space with us please ensure you write ‘Howden Playgroup’ so this ensures your place with us.

For our parents and carers,

We know mornings can be crazy and busy and we are too busy thinking about sorting the children.

So we are thinking about you, our breakfast on the go station will be at the gate each morning for you to grab bits as you leave to make sure you are having something too.

Please help yourself

❤️❤️❤️

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure.

We are also looking for items such as

Hats
Scarfs
Bags
Jewellery
Old cases
Bowls
Scoops
Plant pots or gardening bits
Reels
Old style suitcases
Baskets
Plastic piping/guttering

We would be forever grateful for any items.

Thank you

“In the woods, children don’t just play, they discover magic in every leaf, every stone, and every step they take.”
With each moment of curiosity, they grow, learn, and connect to a world full of wonder, where nature nurtures their hearts and minds.

“The world is a canvas of wonder, where every question sparks the imagination and every discovery feels like magic.”

(We went on a virtual train ride around Zurich together which sparked imagination in lots of our children 🚂)
