Parental/Carer Involvement and Duties
Parental/carer involvement is actively encouraged and parents/carers are welcome to visit playgroup at any time during opening hours.
Parents/carers are required to undertake a number of duties each term. (Pregnant mums are expected to fulfil a share of duties up to 29 weeks if they feel well enough to do so and will then be exempt until 3 months after giving birth.) It is important that parents commit to undertaking duties to ensure the smooth running of Playgroup. If both parents/carers work then arrangements should be made with a relative or childminder to undertake the duties. In the event that a parent/carer cannot cover a duty and is unable to arrange a swap, then a fee of £6 will be charged to enable extra cover to be provided.
Parents/carers are also welcome and encouraged to:
- Share with the children any skills or hidden talents! E.g. playing an instrument, sewing, gardening, juggling, speaking or signing another language etc.
- Assist with fundraising
- Take part in the management of the playgroup
- Attend the AGM and committee meetings
- Attend training courses organised by playgroup and the Pre-school Learning Alliance
