Staffing

Up to 24 children can be accommodated per session. The staff to child ratio is at least 1:8 (depending on the age range of the session).

We currently have a Playgroup Supervisor, five staff members and two support staff. Each member has been police checked, is trained to National Guidelines and all staff undertake regular training to update their skills.

During a normal session we also have a Parent Helper. This involvement is highly valued giving you a chance to see your child in the Playgroup environment, bring new skills or ideas and to enable the staff to spend more quality time with the children.

The Playgroup is run by a committee made up of enthusiastic parents. Involvement in this and all fundraising activities is vital to help the Playgroup run smoothly and successfully.

Session times

Playgroup is held on five mornings a week from 9:15am to 12 noon. If there is sufficient demand for places, afternoon sessions may be opened (1:15pm to 4:00pm).
