Playgroup

There was an independent Playgroup in the school from 1990s until 2014

When the school was remodelled, a new playgroup was established, which was completely part of the school, with school staffing and children registered in the school. 

Current Provision- First half of the week- Playgroup

  • Children can begin Playgroup from the start of the term after they turn age 2.
  • Playgroup runs every day with 3-hour sessions 9-12 and 12-3pm
  • Children can stay half days or full days. On full days, they need a packed lunch
  • Parents can choose as many sessions as they would like, from one to all ten sessions. Staff recommend a minimum of 2 sessions as they find children settle better.
  • The current adult : child ratio is 1:5

 Big Playgroup

Second half of the week (is called Big Playgroup to distinguish it )

  • On Wednesday afternoons, all day Thursday and all day Friday, we have a 20-place setting.
  • This can be used by 2-3 year olds from Playgroup and 3-4 year olds who attend Nursery.
