Ketton Early Birds, situated in Kedington, Suffolk, offers a nurturing environment for children aged two and a half to ten years. Established in 1969 as Kedington Playgroup, it expanded in 2008 to include pre-school and out-of-school care.
The pre-school follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, focusing on individual development and working in collaboration with parents. The dedicated staff team prioritises continuous professional development to maintain high standards.
The setting is housed in a purpose-built modular building on the Kedington Primary School site, featuring an exciting outdoor area for children to explore and learn. As a registered charity, Ketton Early Birds is currently fundraising to convert its existing garage into additional space for specific groups, including a calming area for transitioning toddlers, a sensory space for children with additional needs, and a dedicated area for older children.
They welcome support through monetary donations, attendance at fundraising events, or contributions of building materials.

Areas to develop
Inclusion & environment
Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) respond well to the attentive support provided by staff. Parents welcome opportunities to attend training courses with their child's key person, which helps support even stronger continuity in care and learning for children, including those with SEND.
Children's physical skills develop well. They learn to run at a slower pace to avoid obstacles when playing a chasing game outdoors. Children delight in being active outdoors in the fresh air during most of the session.
