About Our Playgroup

Warden Bay playgroup is a friendly playgroup welcoming everyone. We cater for children age 2-4 years of age. We offer a variety of funding for 2, 3 & 4 year olds depending on qualifying criteria as well as privately funded sessions. We liaise with outside agencies to support the children in our care and have a good relationship with the local children centre and schools. Warden Bay Playgroup is situated in a village hall, we are close to the beach and park which we visit regularly.

At Warden Bay Playgroup we promote self independence, learning life skills and building confidence in our children alongside following the Early Years Foundation stage framework and supporting each child’s individual progress and learning. We offer a mix of child initiated play and adult led following each child’s individual interests.

We feel children learn best when they feel comfortable and doing what they enjoy and we incorporate learning into their play. We abide by all safeguarding requirements and special educational needs, Ofsted requirements and the early years foundation stage statutory requirements to ensure all our children thrive in our care.
