Noah's Ark Playschool 01942 883139

We are open for 50 weeks of the year, closed Bank Holidays and two weeks at Christmas. Playschool is open Monday to Friday for sessions of 09:05 - 11:35 and 12:30 - 3:00pm, each session costing Ł5.00 We also offer extended care between the hours of 8:30am and 4:30pm, this costs Ł8.00 for a half day, and Ł17.00 for a full day.

	We aim to provide flexible, affordable childcare in a caring, stimulating environment. Children are to bring a packed lunch if staying over lunchtime. Fees are payable throughout the year, either on the first day of the child's week, or monthly in advance as the parent chooses. Please note that fees are payable for absence due to sickness, days off or holidays. Please discuss any arrangements with Judith.

Ofsted Inspections
	We are Ofsted inspected at Noah's ark which means that all activities and experiences match the objectives identified in the Stepping Stones to the Early Learning Goals. The curriculum is planned to meet the needs of each individual child.

Department of Education Grants
Grant funding may be available for all 3 and 4 year olds. Please ask Judith for Details.

Equal Opportunities No child will receive less favourable treatment because of his/her colour, creed, disability, ethnic or national origin. Every child will have equal opportunities. All children will be supervised by a staff member when going to the toilet but will be encouraged to look after their own hygiene. Each member of staff has had the necessary criminal checks. We encourage parents to try to toilet train their child before coming to playschool, however if the child has not yet reached this stage we will not discriminate against him/her attending playschool.
