Little Pippins is a community-run pre-school in Harwell Village, Oxfordshire. We provide pre-school care and education for children between the ages of 2½ and 5 years.
Our purpose-built pre-school is set in an idyllic orchard and has a large outdoor play area.

We are delighted that Ofsted have judged Little Pippins to be ‘Outstanding’ at our last two inspections (December 2014 and July 2019)
