Your child must attend for at least 2 sessions per week to help them get used to the staff and environment. You can increase the number of sessions each term in consultation with the supervisor if spaces are available.
Please arrive and collect your child promptly as this helps them to settle and reduces anxiety. The Pre-School gate is locked, so if you do arrive late or have arranged to leave early, please come to the main door at Action For Children.
Parents can access the Rainbow Room by walking around the right hand side of the Early Childhood and Family Services building, through the wooden gate and through the rear playground and walking up the ramped access to the door on the side. If the gates are locked please telephone the office on 01366 385067 and a Practitioner will come out to see you.
Parents can access the Star Room by walking around the side of the Early Childhood and Family Services building and up the ramp to the left. During session time please ring the door bell.
Cars can be parked on the The Hollies Car Park opposite. Please DO NOT park in the Methodist Church Car Park.
For security, we will only release a child to a known adult, unless specifically informed beforehand.
