For activities available during the school holidays please visit our Whats On section.

Induction
It is policy for staff to make a home visit (or alternatively) and encourage a Playgroup visit by both parent and child, prior to the child starting. This is to introduce both the parent and child to the staff and the setting and to answer any queries or questions.

Open Afternoons
Each term the Playgroup opens for an afternoon so parents can come in to look at their child's work (which is available to see at any time by request), have a look around the Playgroup and find out about the curriculum.

Cost
Children not funded by Medway Council £5.00 per session. Please ask staff for more information about Government Funding for children aged 3 years and upwards.

Keyworkers
Each child has a keyworker who is responsible for having contact with parents, writing daily diaries and checking that the child's needs are met. Keyworkers are available to speak to the parents after every session.

Monday Afternoons
Monday afternoons are special sessions for 4 year olds in preparation for moving to school. Children join this group the term before starting school and take part in more age-focussed activities.
