Our vision is to raise the standard of education for all children, so that they can achieve their full potential and can be active participants in a culturally diverse society. We believe in encouraging positive working relationships amongst our staff, children, parents and members of the wider school community.

The Ark Paygroup is a non-profit making independent organisation which provides good, professional, affordable childcare within a safe and loving environment for all families within the local community.

We are registered by OFSTED for full day care for 20 children aged 2-5 years.

We are proud to have been the FIRST playgroup in Merton accredited, in 2003, by The Pre-School Learning Alliance.

From September 2003 we became part of the Merton Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership. This opened avenues for training and development as well as having Educational backing for the Foundation Stage of Learning.

We are open Monday to Friday 9.05am-3.05pm during term-time. We offer playgroup sessional care, both morning and afternoon, full day care, and wrap around care for children who attend The Sherwood School's Nursery.
