As a focus for the final term we have been looking at our families and the world around us and also preparing the leavers for their transitions into their new schools in September.

Lots of the children brought in photos of their families to share with the group, proudly talking about their parents, siblings and pets.

We invited Dad’s and Grampy’s (or male carers) to join us for a Father’s Day afternoon tea treat where they were served squash and cakes, followed by playing together and finishing off with a story.

What a lovely afternoon together topped off with a keep sake gift from each child of a painting of their Dad to take home!

The children have also enjoyed showing off their talents when we had a little talent show, many of them showing us their physical skills by hopping, balancing or doing a little song.  Well done everyone!!

On our last day we held a party for the children leaving playgroup, afterwards the parents all returned and the children sang their leavers song before being presented with a gift from Playgroup to help send them on their way to big school.

We wish them all well and would like to say a big thank you to all our parents who have supported the Playgroup during their children’s time with us.

Finally, we held our AGM at the Old Badger and had a brilliant turnout with some lovely food.  We welcome our new committee and parent volunteers and look forward to working with them in the next academic year, which is sure to be as busy and exciting as this one.

We look forward to another new term in September and welcome back our remaining and also all of our new  children – we have lots of exciting things planned for our return.

Playgroup’s first day back will be Tuesday 5th September 2017 – we will see you all then!  

 If you would like your child to enjoy a stimulating, fun and safe environment to learn and play in then we would love to hear from you.   

Spaces for September 2017 are filling up very quickly and some sessions already have a waiting list, however if you are interested in coming for a visit then please contact us we would love to meet  you!

Our playgroup offers care and education for all children in a well established community based group.

­We offer your children a safe and stimulating environment in which they can grow and blossom into

self confident, self reliant and positive little people.

Our ultimate goal is to enable the children to have fun, explore and have the freedom

to express their individuality, while forming the basis of their education.

           We accept children from the age of 2yrs 6month to 5 years and operate 4 days a week (Monday – Thursday) offering

           full and half day sessions and we accept government nursery vouchers and other types of employer supported childcare vouchers.
