WE are writing to thank the Rotary Club of Chipping Campden for the generous donation they have given to the playgroup. The donation is to be used to develop the outside play area. It is required that the children should have the choice of spending up to 50 percent of their time at playgroup outside and so the quality of this area is very important.

The development would involve creating vegetable and sensory garden spaces, a safe surface for using bikes and scooters on, outdoor painting and chalkboard areas and new fencing and gates.

We are very grateful to this group for their donation which will help take this exciting project forward from the planning stages.

CATHERYN BROWN, Secretary, Chipping Campden Pre-School Playgroup.
