Over the summer we have been sprucing up our garden room. It has had a makeover, and we must thank Pete Allison and Ian Cross for their hard work and inspiration in making the room look fantastic in its new colours of green and blue. As well as the painting, we have been cleaning, sorting and mending, making sure both rooms were ready for the children. September is always a busy time for us at Playgroup and this year it has been just as busy. It has been lovely to see all the children who have returned after the summer break. We have welcomed lots of new children and are looking forward to getting to know them and their families. We opened our doors to current, new and prospective parents for an open evening on 22nd September, giving them the opportunity to meet our staff and have a look around both rooms and the garden. We hope this has helped parents to feel more included in their child’s journey. Don’t worry if you missed out, we are planning on opening our doors on another evening in June or July. We will post this on our Facebook page and website when a date has decided. Covid restrictions have reduced a little and as of writing we are now able to mix the children. We remain in two rooms but are spending some time out in the garden all together, which both the staff and children have enjoyed. We continue to keep up with cleaning and hand washing to reduce the spreading of germs. Moos – Our afterschool club welcomes school-aged children from years 3 – 6. Please contact us to book your child’s place: moos@melbournplaygroup. org.uk or call 01763 223459. MOOS is a fun, free-flow play environment which we believe our children greatly enjoy. If you have a child who is ready for playgroup, please contact us on 01763 223459 or email: office@melbournplaygroup.org.uk Please visit our website: www.melbournplaygroup.co.uk for more information including details of our opening times and fees.
