Bilbrook Playgroup

Excitement is building at playgroup this week as Christmas draws closer. We are so busy completing lots of Christmas activities. We are having lots of fun during the final weeks of playgroup 😊

Christmas has officially arrived at playgroup this week! The Christmas tree is up, the glitter is out and the mischievous elf has arrived! So many lovely activities to do!

Another busy week at playgroup. Painting, glueing, cutting and painting! We made lots of our favourite safari animals. We enjoyed painting our favourite animal too!

This week at playgroup we have been learning all about animals. We have explored some of our favourite animals through lots of creative and imaginative resources. On Friday we joined in with Children in Need by dressing up in pyjamas and brightly coloured clothes! It’s been a very busy week!

This week we have been learning about the importance of The Poppy and Remembrance Sunday through many different activities. Lest We Forget

WOOSH! WIZZ! BANG!!! The children have enjoyed another wonderful week at Bilbrook Playgroup where they have been learning all about bonfire night and fireworks! We have explored colours, textures and discussed how to stay safe on bonfire night. 💥🔥

It is with great sadness we would like to share the news with you, Bilbrook Playgroup will be closing its doors permanently at Christmas.

We have been privileged to have been part of hundreds of children’s first steps on their early years journey over the past 40 years.

We have had many staff, committee members and parents/carers support us during our time and we thank you all.

Well what a year we’ve had! Through all the challenges that have been thrown at us we have loved every minute with the children, watching them learn and grow.

We can’t thank all our parents and carers enough for your support. With your help, we have got through this year without any covid positive results from any children or staff members.

All staff wish our leavers the best of luck for the future and we hope you all have a well deserved, lovely summer!! 🌞
