Ballymoney Playgroup

Ballymoney Playgroup Ballymoney Community Playgroup provides preschool care and education for 3-5 year olds. We promote the six areas of learning through these activities.

The group has been successfully running for over 30 years and in 2008 received a very good grade in their inspection by the Department of Education for Northern Ireland (DENI). In April 2015 the playgroup successfully achieved Accreditation status from Early Years the Organisation for Young Children. The group operates five mornings per week from 9.00am until 11.30am and five afternoons from 1.00pm to 3.30pm at Trinity Church Hall. The Playgroup is registered with the Causeway Health and Social Services Trust and is affiliated to the Early Years Organisation. A Management Committee is elected by and from the parents at the Annual General Meeting. STAFF

We planted sunflowers together at playgroup, and everyone took one home to look after. We also planted some for the play room, and I brought them home during the summer to look after them and watch them grow.

With lots of watering, sunshine and care, our sunflowers have now grown beautifully and produced these lovely flowers! 🌻💛

We would love to see how your sunflowers have grown too! please send us in a photo so we can share them with everyone and see all the beautiful sunflowers the children have grown.
