Session times & Fees

   We organise our sessions so the children can choose from, and work at, a range of activities and in so doing, build their ability to select and work through a task to it's completion.  The setting caters for children's individual need for rest and quiet activities during the day.  The children are helped and encouraged to take part in adult-lead small and large group activities which introduce them to new experiences and help them gain new skills, as well as helping them to learn to work with others.

Trial Mornings - You and your child may attend the pre-school, free of charge, on a morning prior to their first term in order for you both to see the group at work and to complete starter paperwork.

Leaving  -  We require at least one months notice of your child leaving the Playgroup so we can assess staffing levels and/or offer the place to another child. Fees are payable in lieu of notice.
