Morgans Playgroup was established in 1989 and is based within the extensive grounds of Morgans Primary School in Hertford. Whilst the playgroup benefits from strong links to the school, the building has its own private entrance and playground providing a wonderful and safe environment for the children to play and explore the world around them.

Morgans Playgroup follows the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. Within the seven areas of learning, there are three areas that are particularly crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive. These areas are: 

• communication and language 
• physical development
• personal, social and emotional development

The dedicated team at Morgans Playgroup plan fun and engaging activities tailored to the children's needs and interests. 

Morgans Playgroup is a self-financing charity. The playgroup is registered and inspected by Ofsted as well as being a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance. The playgroup is staffed by qualified childcare professionals and managed by a committee of parent volunteers.

In March 2017, Morgans Playgroup was graded to be 'Good'.
