Mary Platt Pre School

Mary Platt Pre School We are a small, well established group with caring, highly qualified staff. Come & see what we offer.

When the children arrive they have the opportunity for free play from a wide range of activities both indoors and outdoors. Halfway through the sessions children are encouraged to help tidy up and we have a short circle time as a group where we sing the children’s choice of nursery rhymes and songs or have a discussion. Children are then helped to wash their hands and we have a snack. We encourage

the children to eat healthily and value and encourage social interaction. After snack, children access free play again, then for the last ten minutes we have story time and sing our goodbye song. Although this is our normal routine we use it flexibly according to our circumstances. If the children are highly engaged in an activity we will extend this time to support their learning. Snack
We value snack as an important time for social interaction and so children sit in groups with an adult. We offer milk or water to drink and usually a choice of one carbohydrate and two fruit or vegetable. Key Person
It is a specific legal requirement to run a key person system which means that each child has a designated staff member who will help the child to become familiar with the provision and to feel safe and confident within it. They will develop a genuine bond with both child and their family and offer a settled and close relationship. The key person keeps the child’s development record up to date and will discuss and exchange important information with parents/carers to ensure that the child is being cared for appropriately for each family.

Thank-you to all who attended our annual Teddy Bears Picnic to celebrate the end of another pre-school year!

We very much enjoyed spending time with the children and their families up at Harris Park. The children had fun playing on the playground with their friends and taking a well earned break with their teddies to feast on some delicious food!

It was a lovely opportunity to talk with the children's families, reminisce on the past 12 months and look ahead to the future.

Wishing all our leavers the very best in their next stage, of a new nursery or starting Reception! And to all those returning in September, we will see you after the summer holidays!

Have a fabulous, safe break everyone!!!
