Pre-school probe

I am studying for a PDA in Childcare and Education at Jewel and Esk Valley College in Midlothian. For my research project I am trying to find out if there is a place for a traditional playgroup. I am the playleader of a traditional playgroup. It is managed by a volunteer committee, has paid, qualified staff, is funded by fees, fundraising and grants, and provides a stimulating environment for children aged from two years and three months to four years.
