Pre-school activities

We are pleased to announce that we will be running Pre-School activities from September in our newly decorated soft play area.  Our dedicated pre-school activities room will provide a range of sessions four days a week during the West Sussex school term time.  Activities will include: Art and craft, messy play, music and movement, woodland explorers and story time activities. 
 
These sessions will be around an hour long, running in both the morning and afternoon, and will be specially created for 0-5 years.  They will be inspired by different themes, such as shapes, seasons, cultural festivals and favourite characters/books.   Each session will aim to promote children’s physical, communication and social skills, and will be fun, educational, interactive and inclusive.
 
The focus of each session will be “together time” for parents/guardians and their child/children, with the opportunity to explore, learn and develop together.  Children will take part in play experiences provided by a fully qualified childcare practitioner, who will be on hand to chat to parents and build children’s confidence, imagination and concentration skills.
 
More information on our new pre-school sessions is available on our website www.aldingbournetrust.org/pre-school-activities.  Spaces are pre-book only, so please visit our website to secure your space today.  Each pre-school session is priced at £6 per child, (£5.50 for members).  If you wish to explore the rest of the Country Centre on your visit, you can purchase a wrist band to visit our onsite activities.
 
The Aldingbourne Country Centre is open everyday from 10am until 4.30pm.  With a woodland walk and playground, open farm, ride-on tractors, maze, mini golf, soft play, sand and water play, wooden train and castle play area, and delicious locally sourced and home-cooked food in our own onsite café which features an indoor slide.
