Seend Playgroup

Seend Playgroup has been providing care and education to local pre-school children for over 50 years!

In fact, some of the mums and dads of our current intake have themselves attended Seend Playgroup!

It is staffed by a dedicated team of people, all of whom are mothers themselves. All our staff have Pre-School Learning Alliance qualifications, or other equivalent early years training.
Seend Playgroup is situated in Seend Pavilion and overlooks the playing field, with a children’s play area to one side. We offer a variety of indoor and outdoor activities which cover all areas of the curriculum.  In addition, regular outings are planned, including local walks and visits, plus trips further afield.

We actively encourage parental involvement, with opportunities for you and your family to be directly involved in the activities of the group and in your own child’s progress.

We offer a wide range of play activities, both indoors and outdoors, to cover all areas of the curriculum.

We naturally offer the full range of activities that you would expect in a pre-school environment – painting, drawing, sand pit, water play, building bricks, dressing up, home corner, imaginative play, music, singing, dancing, “show and tell”, jigsaws, books… The list goes on!

However, as a village playgroup, we also make full use of our rural setting. The doors of Seend Playgroup open directly on to a large, safe playing field, known as The Lye. Whenever the weather permits, the children are encouraged to play outside and make use of our varied play equipment – balls, stilts, toys for throwing and catching, ride on bikes and tractors, etc.

Throughout the year, we take the children on various outings in the village such as blackberry picking, a walk to Love Lane, conker collecting, a canal walk. We also have very strong links with Seend School and to Seend Church, and visit both on a regular basis.

We take the children on walks to the Mobile Library in Seend when ever we can. On our recent walks we have been searching for the ‘Seend Stones’ and the children have been taking great delight in finding these painted rocks and re-hiding them in the village again.

We take the children on trips further afield. In recent years, we have visited Community Farms, Forest Schools, Trowbridge Fire Station, and lambing at Lackham College.
