We operate two Pre-School sessions - children usually attend one of these:

08.45-11.45 and 12.30-15.30.

A session will include:

• Time for carefully planned and structured play:

• to challenge children and develop their skills and knowledge.

• Time for free play:

  to enable children to demonstrate their interests, understanding and abilities and pursue problems and enjoyment!

• Time for learning in small groups or one to one with an adult

• Time for refreshment, sharing and taking responsibility for looking after each other

• Time to sing, create, paint, construct, become engrossed in stories and books, join in with rhymes, collaborate

A typical session is as follows:

• Parents bring their children into Pre-School and settle them at an activity

• Busy Learning Time (indoors and outdoors) (a mix of free choice provision and learning in small groups or one-to-one)

• Small Group Time - sharing fruit and milk/water, with a time for learning as a group

• Further Busy Learning Time (indoors and outdoors) (a mix of free choice provision and learning in small groups or one-to-one)

• Songs, rhymes and story before children are returned to parents at the Pre-School door.
