Read MoreWelcome to the Hutton Cranswick Playgroup website…
Hutton Cranswick Playgroup was established in 1969 in the Methodist Hall in Cranswick and we are still here today! Over the years we have seen many changes and have grown and developed to provide sessions for children aged two to five years, in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.
In October 2017 Playgroup achieved a good report from the Government’s Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted).
Hutton Cranswick Playgroup is a registered charity – Registered Charity Number 1034331 – run by trustees who are elected every year at the Annual General Meeting. The trustees are responsible for decision making, fundraising and adhering to Ofsted policies. In addition we have a fundraising committee who organise events to raise much needed funds.
HAPPY & SAFE CHILDREN
“I really enjoy playgroup. I like playing on the caterpillar and love it when they make us dens to play in.” ~ Cohen, aged 4
CARING & NUTURING
“One of our primary reasons for choosing the village was so that our son could attend Hutton Cranswick playgroup. The care and learning the children receive is outstanding.”
What We Offer
The Playgroup operates during term time only and follows the same
termly dates as Hutton Cranswick Community Primary School.
Playgroup
We offer up to 24 hours of Early Years sessions each week, Monday to Thursday.
We offer sessions for children from 2 years old until school age.
Our sessions are planned so that the children can choose from a range of fun and stimulating activities to encourage their independence and build confidence in their abilities. The children are also helped and encouraged to take part in adult-led small and larger group activities which introduce them to new experiences and help them gain new skills, as well as helping them to learn to work with others. We give time and attention to each child and talk with them about their interests and activities. We encourage the children in our care to explore their interests and be adventurous safely.
The children enjoy a wide range of role play and small world resources. They often get the chance to cook and bake. Painting is an ever popular activity and the book corner is well loved, be it reading alone or sharing a story with a friend, adult, in a small or large group. Our remote controlled talking turtles created great excitement amongst all the children upon their arrival!
