We are a small playgroup in NI just opened in January this year. We have applied and been successful in receiving grants amounting to £1200 earmarked for an outdoor shed and ride-ons. We also managed to raise £300 from 2 fundraisers with the parents and families involved with the Playgroup. We start again in September with 14 children - 8 preschoolers and 6 pre-preschoolers. The new outdoor shed will be erected at the end of August and will cost £600 and I have also placed an order for 6 ride-ons at a cost of over £700. Obviously this leaves us that we need to find 8 other ride-ons. I have managed to get 2 tractors, 1 bike with stabliisers and a tricycle (3 of these…

well we've finally had confirmation of our place in the new school being built down the road (following the amalgamation of two small village schools we feed)- fantastic news and such a relief plus we have £5000 to spend on resources-toys and equipment, whatever we like!!!! BUT even better (didn't think this was possible) we had an email from council yesterday to say we have all our kitchen appliances paid for- cooker, hob, fridge, dishwasher, washing machine and a dryer, our office will be fitted with desk, pinboard etc, an interactive whiteboard!! tables, chairs, some other basic equipment and cloakroom! Such fantastic news that just had to share! The whole process…

hi all hoping you can help me iron out some questions/ideas please. This year for our Leavers Service I suggested at staff meeting having a graduation style service- the children who will be leaving for school dressing up in very simple outfits and taking pride of place in our service. We will still have a story with songs to 'perform' for the parents and families which we are also struggling to decide upon- any ideas what works really well? We would like something we can include more action and participation for the children as they get bored easily otherwise but something that the parents will enjoy- sometimes we've done a service before and it was over very quickly. …
