Manthorpe Pre-School Playgroup

Our setting consists of our large main room that is packed full of opportunities for learning! 

​

During the Early Years, children develop quickly and as practitioners we aim to do all we can to give each child the best possible start in life. We follow the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

 

Our sessions at Playgroup are based upon continuous provision and interests with all areas available for children to explore, adults are on hand to help support and lead play when necessary.

 

We have the same daily routine that is roughly the same time everyday which is in the order of; welcome time (9:30am), free play, snack time (10am), early phonics, tidy up, outside play (11:15am), story time/nursery rhymes, lunch time (12:00pm), free play, tidy up time, snack time (2:15pm), outside play and home time (3:00-4:00pm). During free play the children have the opportunity for painting, colouring, messy play, ICT toys, small world play, role play and many more.

​

We are lucky enough at playgroup to have 3 beautiful outdoor areas and they are;

- The garden where the children get to grow their own vegetables that they will later to get to eat at a snack time. It also has a large grass area with a tree and a minibeast corner that the children have lots of fun exploring and learning in.

​

- The soft tarmac area where there is a climbing frame, 2 slides, lots of toy cars and trucks, construction area and a mud kitchen that the children love to get messy in.

​

- The 'lazy daisy' which is our forest area where the children get to explore all sorts of wildlife and build dens
