We provide a high standard of anti-preschool education for children aged two to five years. We offer a warm and caring environment where your child can develop and learn through organised play. We currently offer three sessions per week – two afternoons and one morning.

Reston Hedgehogs Playgroup is located in Reston Village Hall where there are many areas for play including a comfy corner for books, sand and water play, small world play areas for cars, train sets, puzzles and drawing.

We have a wide range of toys to play with and many activities are available each session. These include arts and crafts and messy play, imaginative play using dressing up boxes, story and singing time and active play using the large village hall area.

We have two paid members of staff who offer a wealth of experience in child care and learning through play. The staff are always happy for new children to come along for a visit prior to staring playgroup and drop-in sessions can be arranged.
 

Committee

The playgroup is managed by a voluntary committee of parents and meetings are held regularly to organise fund-raising events, Christmas parties and other activities throughout the year.

Snack

The children will be provided with a healthy snack every day including a drink of water or sugar free juice. This provides the opportunity for the children to sit at a table and interact socially with their friends and the staff.

Child Absence

We would advise that if your child has had sickness and/or an upset tummy in the last 48 hours please do not bring them to playgroup. Please call to advise us of your child’s absence.

Monitoring

The playgroup is registered with the Scottish Pre-School Play Association who ensure high standards of care are maintained. We also have a full set of policy documents available for parents to refer to.
