An Ofsted inspection was carried out in June of this year for both Melbourn Playgroup and Out Of School Club, resulting in the highest grade of Outstanding being awarded. This has come out our busiest time, with over 170 children attending the playgroup, preschool and after school club. Many thanks to the Playgroup and MOOS staff, committee and not forgetting the children, in helping us to achieve this rating.

It has been a very busy start to the new term, with more children than ever joining up.

The playgroup children have been busy with a wide range of activities, from learning about different colours to making their own pizzas! The children have also taken part in a Spanish taster session, learning counting and how to say hello and goodbye in Spanish!

This term we are also organising a bedtime reading session for the preschoolers and their parents!

The holiday club is open to all children aged 3–11 years old, not just those attending Melbourn Primary School. MOOS run holiday clubs in the February and May half terms, and over the school Easter holidays.

If you are interested in the playgroup, preschool, Out of School Club or Holiday club please call us on 01763 223459 or visit our website www.melbournplaygroup.org.uk
