Did you know that Stepaside CP School is also the home to Stepaside Community Playgroup? We are registered to take children aged from two-and-a-half and can take up to 16 children per session. We currently have vacancies and you may book anything from one session per week to all five. Sessions run from 12 noon until 3 pm and cost just £7.

Our group is housed in the purpose-built Nursery block at Stepaside CP School and staffed by fully qualified staff. It is a lovely bright room, packed with resources and stimulating displays. We have our own kitchen and toilet facilities.

Activities in the Playgroup involve the children in many different learning experiences. We have our own garden area and we are often planting and harvesting our crops. Another favourite activity is cooking and the children love to contribute their own cakes to fundraising bake sales for charity and the playgroup funds.

Learning through play is a very important aspect of our group and we regularly change the theme of our indoor play to reflect the season and the interests of the children. We are fortunate to have a fantastic outdoor area and plenty of space indoors for our many different activities.

Our setting is English medium, but our staff have attended sabbatical Welsh courses and so use lots of incidental Welsh during the sessions.

All of our sessions are planned by our qualified staff and are designed to allow the children to grow in confidence as they prepare for Nursery class.

Our Playgroup allows us to offer wrap around care to our Nursery aged pupils once they reach the term after their third birthday.

We would love to show you around and so invite you to come along to our coffee afternoon on Tuesday, September 27, at 1.30 pm.
