Our Aim

We offer your child

Special Needs

Children with special needs, like all other children, are admitted to Noah’s Ark after consultation with parents and Playschool leaders.

Qualifications

Our staff are highly trained in child care or have relevant background knowledge. Most are first aiders.

Session Times

Attendance

Noah’s Ark Playschool is registered with Ofsted for 26 children between the ages of 2½ years & four years. Children usually start with two sessions per week progressing to three or four sessions before they go to Nursery. We like children if possible to be out of nappies and toilet trained. Staff will assist them in using the toilet facilities.

Play Facilities

We have extensive outside play areas with tarmac for the winter months and a grassy area for the summer months. The children are encouraged to play outside each day weather permitting

What to wear

In order to feel free to enjoy and experiment with all kinds of materials, including messy ones, it is best to send your children dressed in clothes that are easily washable or not too new.

Key Workers and Record Keeping

Our key worker system gives each member of staff particular responsibility for up to six children. In addition, the key worker is in a position to tailor the group’s curriculum to the unique needs of each individual child.
We are able to implement an excellent record keeping system in which observations of the children in the group and at home are used as a basis for drawing up a curriculum for each child.

Policies

All our policies are designed to offer the best possible experience for the children and families in the group. Our policies are reviewed annually and comments and suggestions from parents are always welcome.A copy of our policies are displayed on the notice board in the foyer.

Interest Table and Themes

We focus on a theme and also concentrate on a letter each week. Children can bring in items of interest either relating to the theme or beginning with the letter of the week. Showing time is held at the end of each session.

Parental Involvement

We encourage parents to be involved at Playschool by having a rota for parents to help during sessions.

Special Events
