Our group runs five morning sessions per week, we are located in the village of Plumbridge and our catchment area include Plumbridge and outlying rural district. We work in partnership with parents to support their children's learning ensuring quality of opportunity for all children and their families. We liaise with other health professionals to share information and to support children who have special needs and who require additional support. All staff are qualified, highly experienced and are committed to ongoing professional development in order to provide the best outcomes for the children and their families attending our group. The playgroup actively encourages the involvement of parents to share in their children's learning by encouraging them to take on roles within the Management Committee, participating in fund raising activities and participating on outings with their child. The management committee holds several fund-raising activities throughout the year to support the finances required to keep the place running smoothly and the upkeep/ replacement of equipment.
