Welcome to Whitchurch Whizzkids Pre-School Playgroup
Whitchurch Whizzkids are a pre-school playgroup, based in Whitchurch near Ross-on-Wye in Herefordshire. We are a community playgroup
with charitable status owned and run by the parent committee of the children attending the group. We are
located in the Memorial Hall within the village, a large building with good facilities both indoors and
outdoors.
Established in 1971, Whitchurch Whizzkids caters for children from 2½ to 5 years. Our opening times are Monday
to Friday mornings from 9.00 to 11.30, with an additional lunchtime session from 11.30 to 13.00. The setting supports
children with special needs.
We have three full-time and three part-time staff working with the children. All staff have early
years qualifications to NVQ level 2 or 3, or are working towards these levels. We also receive support from a teacher
mentor from the Early Years Development Development and Childcare Partnership.
Within Whizzkids all children are supported in developing their potential at their own pace. Our Keyworker system enables us to
ensure a planned curriculum tailored to the needs of each child. By means of developmentally appropriate play activities and a
high level of individual adult input, we offer a curriculum that enables children to progress towards the Early Learning Goals
of the Foundation Stage preparing them for the National Curriculum which starts at Year 1 of Primary School.
OFSTED
Our latest Ofsted Inspection was done in November 2007, and we were judged as being of good standard.
