Playways Preschool
Playways Preschool is a place where your child will be cared for in a warm and friendly atmosphere within a safe environment. Staff take advantage of those teachable moments that can happen everyday by supporting and enhancing your child's interests and skills. We aim to establish a real partnership with parents so that we can work together to support your child's individual needs.
Our aim is for your child to be happy and safe whilst learning through play. With support and guidance we promote independence, confidence and self esteem. We like to encourage a child to play socially with respect, kindness and consideration for others. To learn through play the meaning of sharing and caring. We aim to encompass a whole new world of fun and enjoyment through play, away from home, as part of our setting. To provide stimulation, to give help and understanding and most of all to ensure that their time in Preschool can be looked back on with a smile.

We are situated in a large church hall. Accessibility is available to everybody. We have a large outside area which is easily accessed from the hall where the children can use their imagination on our outdoor stage, make mud pies in the mud kitchen, search for bugs and insects and grow vegetables which we often eat at snack time. We encourage the children to free flow between the inside and out for most of the day.
