Initial Plans to open the Little Peeps playgroup were made by its founder Linda Hagland, in
November 1994 as it was felt that Oakdale, and its surrounding areas had a real need for such a facility.
After months of hard work, planning and fund raising premises, toys, and equipment were acquired and in August 1995
Gwent Social Services issued the registration certificate enabling "Little Peeps" to open for the fIrst time on
September 4th 1995.
Now let me tell you a little about ourselves.
