Tinytots Playgroup 2 - 4 years old

The playgroup can cater for 26 children aged between 2 and 4 years.  We have recently revamped the playgroup and the use of the rooms so if you are new to the setting or a returning parent you will see a new improved space.  A quiet space has been created with a communication friendly space where children are able to go to enjoy stories or just relax after playing in the busier main room.  Access to outdoor play is continuous and we encourage children to experience the different weathers and new play experiences are gained through outdoor play. 

Routine

The routine in the playgroup is used as a guideline and is flexible at all times dependant on children’s individual needs.  We understand that young children's routines are all different and therefore we are adapt the routines to suit the needs of the children.  We will always give parent/carers feedback on how your child has been and more importantly we will also tell you about your child's day including the activities that they have been doing. 

The playgroup sessions includes a wide range of planned indoor and outdoor activities including opportunities for music and movement, messy and creative play, mark making, small world play and developing our knowledge of the world around us. 

All the activities provided are encouraging the children's important skills that are needed to develop based around the three prime areas:

Communication and language;

Physical development; and

Personal, social and emotional development

 
Activities

The children have free access to the resources within the room and we also plan activities based on observations made on the children's individual interests.  The activities we plan for are varied and incorporate the local environment including trips to the shops, library and local park.  We keep a record of the children's work and of their development including photographs and observations.

 Daily care routine

Snack time

We provide a rolling snack so that children can choose when they would like snack and fresh water is always available for them to access themselves.

Lunch time   
As the children are at the playgroup over the lunch time period we ask parents to provide a healthy packed lunch that is nutritious and promoting healthy food choices. For more information please click here  

Sleeps

If your child needs a sleep during the session then there are comfortable areas where this can take place.

Nappy changes and toilet training

Children's nappies are changed in the bathroom on a changing table as needed all children will be checked during the session and changed if needed. We ask that parents bring nappies and wipes and leave them on their child's peg during the session. Parents are to supply all nappies and other changing essentials such as nappy cream and baby wipes.  

When you feel your child is ready to begin toilet training we will talk about how you want to do this for example use pull ups or go straight in to knickers or underpants. We have potties and toilets one of which is fitted with a trainer seat with steps.  During the potty training period we do ask parents to provide spare clothes in case there are any accidents.

Staff Ratio
There is at least one member of staff to four children
