We aim to: - Encourage the emotional, social, physical, and intellectual development of children. - Promote the welfare of children. - Encourage the children’s positive attitude to themselves and others, and develop confidence, and self-esteem. - Create opportunities to play and learn through play, to have fun and make friends with other children and adults. - Plan activities and experiences based on the early years foundation stage. - Encourage children to explore, appreciate and respect their environment and other people. - Provide opportunities to stimulate interest and imagination. - Extend children’s abilities to communicate ideas and feelings in a variety of ways. - Provide equal opportunities for all staff and children irrespective of gender, creed, race, color or ethnic origin/abilities. - Work in partnership with parents and the community to enhance the quality of the children’s learning welfare. - Support the continued professional development of all staff. - Provide a smooth and confident transition into school through close links with our local community primary schools. ## **Learning at Westview Playgroup.** At Westview Playgroup the children learn through play, playgroup sessions are filled with activities and experiences, both indoors and outdoors that will enable the children to develop and grow. All staff are trained in guiding the children to progress towards the early learning goals of the early year’s foundation stage. The curriculum recognizes that all children are individuals and develop at different rates. There are seven areas of learning which are interconnected, personal social and Emotional, Communication and language, Physical development, Literacy, Mathematics, Knowledge and understanding the world, Expressive arts and design. Activities are set up with underlying educational purpose, but the total emphasis is on the fun and learning through play. This has been shown to be the most beneficial way for a child to learn and develop their interests. Staff observe the children and plan their next step goals to ensure that they are achieving and making progress during their time with us. ## **Structure, Governance & Management** While day-to-day running of the playgroup is carried out by the staff, overall responsibility for the management of the team and the playgroup rests with the Committee. Our current committee is made up for parents, past parents, and playgroup staff.
