Alphabet Playgroup is predominantly an English-speaking playgroup, with incidental Welsh language used frequently during the session. At Alphabet Playgroup, we are committed to welcoming all children, irrespective of their race, colour, gender, or additional needs. Our primary goal is to provide a safe, happy, and secure environment for everyone. Alphabet Playgroup is situated within the grounds o
f Undy Primary School. Our regulatory body is the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW), whose Regulations & Standards are adhered to by the playgroup. We are registered to take 19 children at each morning/lunch club, and afternoon session. We are a small team of experienced practitioners. As well as our Childcare, learning, and development training, we are also trained in
- Safeguarding
-Pediatric First Aid
-Food Hygiene
-Signalong
To keep our practice up to date, we access professional development training from our local authority and the EAS - Education Achievement Service. Session time
We begin our session with circle time, after which the children transition into free play. Children have the option to play indoors or, in our secure outdoor area, they enjoy access to sand, water, tabletop activities, block play, books, mark-making, trikes, and role-play areas. Towards the end of the session, we all get together for our daily dancing and mindfulness session, which transitions into our singing/story time. The children also have the opportunity to enjoy group time experiences and activities together. During the free play session, children have the opportunity to visit the snack cafe, where we provide a snack consisting of milk/water, fruit, and vegetables. We hold a Healthy Pre-School status, which was awarded to us by the local authority. We also have the highest Fair Trade award given to schools and settings. We are currently Fair Achievers. This award was given in recognition of the experiences and work put in by the children and team to introduce the meaning of Fair Trade. We are open Monday - Friday. Early drop off is from 8.30am (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday)
Morning session runs from 9.00-11.15 am. Lunch club from 11.30-12.30pm (Including wraparound service to Undy Nursery). We have two afternoon sessions per week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which run from 12:30-2:45 pm. Children can stay with us for a maximum of 4 hours. We are regulated by CIW and are ESTYN inspected.
