A Day at Pre-School

What the day is like at Ben Rhydding Pre School Playgroup

The doors to our Pre-School open at 8:45am for Early Birds and 9:00am for our morning session.

After being greeted at the door by the friendly staff, your child will be encouraged to find their peg and hang up their belongings.

Once inside the playroom another member of staff will support your child to find their name card to complete the self registration.

Then it’s time to explore the room and wait for all their friends to arrive. At 9:15am we join together on the carpet for our ‘Good morning’ song and our register answering, “Here I am” or giving a wave.

Free flow play, inside and outside, is available to all children all morning. Our self-serving, rolling healthy snack bar opens at 9:30am – 10am. Water is available all day.

Throughout the session the children have the opportunity to explore their interest and play alongside friends and staff. There is a mixture of adult-led activities, circle time, singing, dancing and lots of fun!

The children wash their hands for lunch and sit down for a family style lunch time enjoying their healthy lunch boxes from home. The staff sit with the children and encourage independence and social skills.

After lunch, a quiet time is available should some of our younger ones need a rest before a busy afternoon starts.

Again, free flow play, inside and outside, is available to all children with a fruit snack at 2:00pm.

At the end of the day all the children come together to finish the afternoon session with singing, a circle time game and a story.

After school, Little Caterpillars Club, is available this year on a Wednesday until 4pm.
