Excellent local playgroup, Nikki and her team are so friendly and professional. Hingham Playgroup is the best childcare that we found in our area. We had a previous bad experience with a child minder and Hingham Playgroup showed us that there really are some excellent settings out there, they really put a lot of effort into supporting each child to their individual needs and putting support plans in place when needed. Hingham Playgroup were so kind and gentle with my little one when she started, especially given the previous bad experience that my little one had experienced. I would give a million stars if I could!
