Sowood Preschool and Community Association

Preschool will be open again from Tuesday 4th September, at our new time of 7.30am!  We have a few exciting changes to our Preschool room and kitchen we are welcoming a few new children aswell as returning little ones!

As per the email send out before the end of last term, we are now no longer Sowood Preschool Playgroup but are now known as Sowood Preschool and Community Association following our merger with Sowood Community Association.

The level of care for our children will continue to be the priority of our organisation and this change allows us to provide this service for many more years to come.

If you have any question or concerns regarding this please speak to Jo or Tracy, or contact our Management Committee Chairperson Malcolm James.

Please make sure all children’s book bags and peg bags are emptied before the end of term 20th July

Temest will be at Preschool Friday 20th April 10.30am to take graduation and group photos for school leavers.

If your child doesn’t normally attend and you wish to bring them along please do so.

We are closed for training day Friday 16th February, and week commencing 19th February for Half term.  We will re-open Monday 26th February at 9am.

We were fortunate today to have a visit from Chris at Project Sport.  He came and did a couple of small group sessions with the children which involved a lot of running, jumping and working with a ball. They had to listen and follow his instructions which is all key to their learning.

The children had a great time!  Here are a few pictures…

We have lots of festive goodies for you to buy each day at Preschool that the children have been making.

We are having Halloween activities all week at Preschool this week, we are encouraging fancy dress, making crafts and pumpkin carving!

We have asked for a donation of £1.50 towards the resources for the activities, and there will be sweet treats available to buy at pick up each day, as well as a raffle!

We are a registeres charity so all donations go to Preschool.
