WORKING TOGETHER FOR YOUR CHILDREN

At our playgroup we usually exceed the ratio of adults to children that is set in the Early Years Foundation Stage. This helps us to:

    • Give time and attention to each child

    • Talk with the children about their interests and activities

    • Help children to experience and benefit from the activities we provide

    • Allow the children to explore and be adventurous in safety

    • We also set up the hall before each session to transform it into a well planned playgroup, full of interesting toys and activities, and pack away after each session, leaving the hall clean and tidy for the benefit of the many other groups in the community who meet in the village hall
