Kids R Us Cross Community Playgroup

Public benefits

Public Benefit Kids R Us playgroup fulfils its public benefit to the families that use our group by promoting healthy eating and physical activity through a daily healthy snack, dental hygiene routine and outdoor opportunities for physical activity. We encourage the children to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Children have free access to a range of

learning and play resources, which helps build their speech, language, fine motor skills, promoting confidence and curiosity thus enabling children to reach their full learning potential. The group meets children's individual needs by allocating each child with a key worker. The group has a welcoming and inclusive ethos and an atmosphere of respect among adults and children alike. The above benefits can be identified through our recent ETI report. http://www.etini.gov.uk/index/inspection-reports/inspection-reports-pre-school-centre-and-nursery-school/inspection-reports-pre-school-and-nursery-school-2015/preschool-inspection-kids-r-us-cross-community-playgroup-fivemiletown-co-tyrone.pdf Benefit for: Kids R Us is open to all children in the surrounding areas i.e. Tyrone and Fermanagh whom are of the age of 2years and 10 months to primary school age.
