Playgroup

Monday, Wednesday & Thursday - 9:00am - 12:00am

A wide range of toys, climbing/play equipment and crafts are always available for the children, with many activities designed and built around subjects which are of current interest to the individual children themselves. An example of this would be 'The Weather', with discussions about snow and ice, making snow scenes, kites, windmills & learning to measure the rain to name just a few. We also provide continous provisions such as construction bales, playdough, role play and paints / creative activities which are set out everyday and are added to according to the childrens needs.

We see our setting as an extension of the home where the parent/carer plays a vital part. Our parents/carers can do this in the following ways:

• Sign up as a 'helper', and become actively involved in the daily routine of the Playgroup
• Joining the committee (having a say in the running of the Playgroup) Helping with outings and parties
• Fundraising
• Attending relevant meetings and responding to circulars
• Spending time with the children discussing or demonstrating some aspect of your talent or profession e.g baking, craft, fireman, farmer etc.

We also recognise that no one knows your child better than yourself. As such we actively encourage you to share as much information as possible about your child with us, to enable us to build positive relationships and ease the children into the settling in process.
