Dacre Banks Pre-School Playgroup was created over 30 years ago, by local mums who wanted a safe and fun place for their children to play. The playgroup, sited at Dacre and Hartwith Village Hall, rapidly grew in numbers and, in 1998, was registered as a charity (registered charity no. 1070061). It is now run by a committee of elected parents. We are blessed with committed staff members who welcome each child as an individual, and ensure that they have a happy, warm and stimulating environment in which to play, learn and develop essential social skills.

We now have a second site situated in Darley Community Primary school. Same hours and prices. For more info you can ring 01423 780234 or email darleypreschool@mail.com

Dacre Banks Pre-School Playgroup runs in line with the school year, which means that we break for the usual school holidays.
