Get Along/Play Along
Welcome to Play Along Preschool Millbrook. Here children have fun learning through play, socialising and completing activities with qualified, staff. The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) is followed. All children practice and consolidate skills in the seven areas of learning. Play Along is very much part of the school.
Children are given opportunities to meet other members of staff and pupils, take part in activities in different areas of the school and join in special events such as assemblies and inspiration days. We hope this will enable them to become familiar within the school environment and ease the transition into the Reception.
