organisation for young children and the group have been inspected by the department of education. We follow the curriculum guidance for the preschool education. This guidance provides the staff with a range of learning opportunities that the preschool child need. Staff plan learning activities to promote the 6 areas of learning through play. 6 areas of learning are as follows: a, the Arts b, Physical development c, language development d, the world around us e, early mathematical experiences f, personal, social and emotional development Staff attend training to further update their knowledge when needed. Also an early years specialist visits the group to keep us informed of any requirements needed. Children are taken on educational trips, eg, recycling areas - this helps promote progression in learning through play experience and the world around us. Children are provided daily with healthy snacks and physical play outdoors. This promotes awareness of the importance of healthy eating and exercise. Opportunities such as gardening and learning to care for their environment are part of the curriculum guidance. The playgroup have a good shared relationship with the Primary School and is valued throughout the community.
