About Sprowston Nursery Playgroup
Sprowston Nursery Playgroup is a preschool setting with over 40 years history, a highly-regarded reputation, and a “Good” OFSTED rating, with Outstanding Outcomes for Children. Our aim is to give children from 2 years to school age the opportunity to learn social skills by mixing with children of their own age, and for them to have fun and learn through play.
The Setting
We are fortunate to have a large premises with multiple and varied activity areas, both indoors and out. Children are able to move freely and independently between these environments choosing their own activities.
Our busy room has an inviting atmosphere encouraging children to explore the diverse resources available. It is the location of the “snack area”, and where our afternoon children eat their packed lunch.There is also a soft relaxation area.
The Hall is a large and very flexible space. We can set up several activities here, as well as using our larger equipment, such as climbing frames so the children can still get their physical activity on the rare occasions they are unable to use the garden.
As well as the lawn, our garden has an all weather surface with a newly built pergola allowing the children to play outside in all weathers. In the garden you will see many activities that you would expect to see indoors, for example painting and reading, as well as the usual outdoor activities such as ride-on toys, sand
We use the kitchen for the messier activities such as painting, baking, and creating masterpieces for you!
