Diddy Dinos, founded by Barbara Boisard in 2013, was originally located in Crystal Palace Dinosaur Park (hence the name). It ran as a Pre-school during term time and a Stay & Play during school holidays and weekends. Due to a high demand in playgroup settings in the area, Diddy Dinos Pre-school relocated just down the road to Penge so that the Stay & Play in the park could run all year round. 

In March 2024, after 11 wonderful years, due to regeneration plans for Crystal Palace park, Diddy Dinos Stay & Play was permanently closed. However, after every closed chapter, another opens... and in January 2025, Diddy Dinos Keston was opened!

We now have two pre-school settings, one in Penge and one in Keston. Welcome to children aged 2-4 years old, open term time only.

At Diddy Dinos our main goal is to create a safe, fun and memorable space for children. We want our pre-school to feel like a second home for your little ones. Every week we are doing something new that'll broaden their horizon. From musicians and artists coming in, to meeting reptiles and furry friends, to sports and yoga lessons, and visits from our local heroes. Every day is an adventure full of new experiences, learning opportunities, laughs and memory making!
