For Parents

Admissions

We accept children on to our waiting list from age 2.  Places will be offered to children from the age of 2 and a half subject to available spaces and we will accommodate preference for morning or afternoon sessions wherever possible.

To join our waiting list, please download our Prospectus and return the form to the Playgroup, or contact us here.

What to wear

In order to feel free to explore and experiment with all kinds of materials, including messy ones, it is best o send children dressed in clothes that are easily laundered or not so new.  It is essential to clearly mark ALL clothing with your child’s name.

Parent’s Rota

Research shows that children learn better when their parents are involved.  To this end, we have a voluntary helper rota.  This gives the parents the opportunity to take part in the group to see what happens there and to talk about it afterwards with their child.  The Rota is pinned up inside the main entrance, so please feel free to add your name.

Please note: we recommend that new children are allowed to settle into Playgroup for at least a term before parents volunteer.  Unfortunately, parents will be unable to bring siblings along to these sessions.

Venue Hire

It is possible to hire both the hall and gardens during evenings, weekends and holidays, please use the Contact form, asking for availability.
