The Opportunity Group Mission

Cirencester Opportunity Group aims to provide a positive, happy and caring environment where children's individual needs are recognised and where each child is encouraged to reach his own full potential. At any time, more than half of our children will have a special need, and some are funded by Gloucestershire Local Authority.

We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum. The children learn through the wide range of play activities in the Early Years Foundation Stage working towards the Early Learning Goals.

Our staff are always available at the beginning or the end of the sessions for an informal chat. As partners in your child's learning, progress reviews are held as appropriate.

Hardship Fund

We aim for our services to be available and accessible to all. The majority of our children do not need to pay for their nursery place. We never turn a family away due to an inability to pay for the sessions. A copy of our hardship policy is given to parents in our information pack and can also be downloaded from this page. Please let us know if you think you may need financial assistance.

At any time, more than half of our children will have a special need.
