We operate a key person system in playgroup, which ensures that each child's individual needs are met. This enables them to develop and attain their goals to meet the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
As well as our morning and afternoon sessions we are now offering lunch club. This gives us the flexibility to run full day sessions where necessary. Lunch club operates from 11:30 until 12:15.
Rainbow Playgroup works closely with Glory Farm School to ensure that we offer continuity and progression for the children in our care. Staff at Rainbow Playgroup and Glory Farm School Foundation co-operate in the curriculum planning and our aims, values and structures are similar. Each childs work within the Foundation Stage and their progress is recorded and goes with each child to whichever primary school they will be attending.
At Rainbow Playgroup our curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage introduced by the Department of Education & Employment in September 2008. This learning framework for Birth to Five years covers the years a child spends in Pre School through to the end of Reception Class in Primary School.
