A warm, nurturing space in Dagenham Village where every child aged 18 months to 4 years is encouraged to explore, discover, and grow. We accept 15 & 30 government-funded hours and welcome families from all backgrounds.
Many families in Dagenham are eligible for funded childcare hours, but not everyone knows they qualify. Our team will guide you through the process, step by step, completely free of charge.
Not sure if you’re eligible? Call us or pop in, we’ll check for you. We also offer very competitive private rates for families who don’t qualify for funding.
Trinity Playcentre is proud to serve one of London’s most diverse and vibrant communities. Our team includes staff from multiple backgrounds and cultures, and we work hard to make every family feel genuinely at home, whatever your language, faith, or background.
We especially welcome migrant and immigrant families who are new to the UK childcare system. We will help you understand your funding entitlement, guide you through registration, and support your child every step of the way.
At Trinity, you are not just welcome, you belong.
At Trinity Playcentre we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, guided by Birth to 5 Matters. We believe children learn best through play, through exploring, experimenting, and forming warm relationships with trusted adults.
Every child has their own unique learning journey. Our practitioners observe, listen, and adapt, ensuring each child is supported, challenged, and celebrated at their own pace. By the time your child is ready for Reception Year, they will be confident, curious, and ready to thrive.
