Our playgroup provides a
happy and welcoming setting for 3-5 year olds to learn through
play. The hall is safe and carpeted and has a wealth of toys,
big and small, including a climbing frame, sand pit, home
corner, dressing up clothes and bikes. In this stimulating
environment the children are free to choose activities such as
painting, junk modelling, construction or table games.
There are also adult led
activities chosen to suit the individual children which allow
them to begin to explore maths, language, and science while
they play. The children enjoy singing, music making, PE and
story time which they do all together. On fine days they are
able to go into the church garden to play, listen to stories or
do some gardening. There is a good relationship between parents
and staff which includes occasional social activities and a
rota system in which parents/carers help twice each half term.
The playgroup complies with Ofsted
regulations and received an excellent report at its last
inspection.
