What We Offer
Fun, exciting activities, child led and child centred play, sports and outdoor play, friendly fun and creative staff.
Fast and safe transition from Class to DASH, being on site means we can collect the infant children and have them happily playing in DASH within 10 minutes of school ending.
We can also give juniors a bit of independence by allowing them to bring themselves to DASH where a member of staff will be ready to greet them.
Each evening a light snack is offered, this is varied and often the children will have an input in to what they would like with encouragement to think of healthy snacks.
Activities We Provide
We provide a wide range of craft activities that are fun and creative. We set out crafts for the children each session and the children are able to freely choose resources that they would like to use from the range we have. We offer sports and outdoor play throughout the year. Imaginative play we have lots of dressing up clothes and resources that the children can use for role play, den building we have materials that the children can use to make dens both inside and outside. Board games and number games. We plan to EYFS requirements.
