Wisborough Green Playgroup changed its name to Climbing Bears in September 1999. As a well-established playgroup we have been meeting the changing needs of the children of Wisborough Green and the surrounding areas since 1970.
Although through the years we have met in various locations around the village, for the last 10 years we have had our own premises in the heart of the village below the church at
Wisborough Green Primary School. Just this summer after several years of fund-raising we were able replace our old building with a brand new purpose built chalet. We are still in the grounds of the school with whom we have a close
relationship, working together gives the children the very
best start to their school life.

Climbing Bears is committed to early years learning through play. To Play is defined by the dictionary as "to have fun, to frolic, to trifle". At this age, three to five years, play is never trivial it is serious and deeply significant; it is the spontaneous expression of thought and feeling. This is our foundation stone. We aim to provide an environment where children play and learn and extend their learning as they grow. |
We are a voluntary run pre-school that is managed by a Committee of Parents elected at the Annual General Meeting held in July. Climbing Bears is a registered provider with West Sussex Sure Start Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership. This means we are inspected by Ofsted and are able to provide funded places for children as and when they become eligible.
