Family Time
Tuesday afternoons in term time
1.45 - 3.15pm
Open to all parents/carers with pre-school children from birth to 4 years of age.
£2 per child plus 50p for each additional sibling.
Family Time offers great opportunities for indoor and outdoor play.For the children who already attend pre-school it is great chance to share all their favourite activities with parent and younger siblings. For younger children it allows them to gain familiarity with the setting and staff prior to them beginning Tibberton Early Years by themselves. The staff organise lots of creative activities and each week put out an exciting range of toys and resources for children and babies of all ages to explore. We provide a snack at each session and round the afternoon off with songs, music and often a bit of dancing too!
Family Time is run by the committee of Tibberton & Taynton Under Fives, a voluntary managed charity group set up in 1969 to provide pre-school services for the Tibberton area. We welcome support from any parent or carer who would like to get involved with committee activities.
In July 2010 the provision of OFSTED registered pre-school education by Tibberton & Taynton Under Fives ended due to a merger with Orchard Nursery School and the formation of a new group 'Tibberton Early Years'. Tibberton & Taynton Under Fives continues to exist to provide access to an affordable drop-in family session for local families.
Until March 2011 the generosity of a Grassroots Grant from Gloucestershire Community Foundation supported our running of the drop-in session for parents with babies and pre-school children in the Nursery Building at Tibberton Community School. We are also very grateful to Tibberton Community Primary School and Tibberton Early Years for their support in holding this session.
