Caterpillars was founded in late 2018 by Gemma Dalfsen, a mum of two, who has lived in Fords Farm almost her entire life. The vision for Kennet Valley Caterpillars is for children to have freedom of choice, learn through play and be part of our preschool family; we will look after your children with all the love and respect as if they were our own.
