In 1984 it became a requirement that Hugglescote Playgroup became registered with Ofsted. From 1969 until January 2013 playgroup was a pack-away setting in the main hall of Hugglescote Community Centre. In 2013 we moved into the cottage, where we are now.<\/blockquote><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e45-e11 m19-0 m19-3 m19-4\"><div class=\"x-bg\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><div class=\"x-bg-layer-lower-image\" data-x-element-bg-layer=\"{&quot;parallaxSize&quot;:&quot;150%&quot;,&quot;parallaxDir&quot;:&quot;v&quot;,&quot;parallaxRev&quot;:false}\"><\/div><div class=\"x-bg-layer-upper-color\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e45-e12 m19-6 m19-7 m19-a m19-e\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e45-e13 m19-g m19-i m19-m\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e45-e14 m19-o m19-r m19-s h-responsive h-custom-headline\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h1 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\"><span class=\"h-sup\"><\/span>Our Team<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e45-e15 m19-u m19-v\">We are a team of 11 staff members at Hugglescote Playgroup with a combined experience of working in early years settings of over 150 years.
