New Stratford playgroup with a focus on Mucking About




RECENTLY opened Stratford playgroup Mucking About is centred around a love of the outdoors.

Inspired by their own eight children, good friends Nicky May and Danni Gallon created Mucking About together.

Nicky was a primary school teacher for over ten years specialising in the Early Years Foundation Stage and Danni has a background working in nurseries. Their love of children and passion for outdoor play runs through the veins of their business.

“Children love playing outside all year round and that’s proven to be good for their growth, wellbeing and sense of adventure,” said Nicky.

There is a variety of outdoor areas at Mucking About’s Alveston Hill base including a digger area, builder’s yard, sand-pit and vegetable patch, all complemented by a huge undercover area providing shelter from the elements when needed.

The playgroup opened in July and there are big plans ahead. Nicky continued: “The ground has been laid for a coffee hut and a plumbed-in toilet with baby change facilities and the new camp fire area is ready to use from January 2024.”
