Our Playgroup
Happy Faces Playgroup is a small, friendly playgroup with an excellent reputation. We welcome new families to come and visit us at any time during a session (however, we would be grateul if you could avoid the first and last fifteen minutes of each session) no appointment is neccessary as we like to feel that you are seeing a true picture.

Our Activities
Happy Faces organises its sessions so that the children can choose from - and work at - a range of activities and, in doing so, build up their ability to select and work through a task to its completion. At every session the following are available for the children to choose from: Painting corner, gluing and sticking table, adult-led craft activity related to the theme for the week, challenge table, play-dough, role play area and dressing up clothes, a selection of toys, books, games and puzzles.
Where are we?
We operate from The Liddell Hall which is located at the rear of Sherfield-on-Loddon Village Hall. The hall provides a warm, welcoming and cosy environment and we also have a fully-enclosed garden for the children to play in.
