Lysander House Playgroup opened in 1990. It operates from a purpose-built building situated in a residential area a short walk from West Ruislip station. It is registered on the Early Years Register and on both the compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare Register. A maximum of 16 children aged between two years and five years may attend the playgroup at any one time. The playgroup is open each weekday from 9.30am to 12.30pm during term time. All children share access to a secure, enclosed outdoor area. There are currently 20 children on roll. The playgroup is funded to provide some free early education to children aged three and four years. Children attend a varying number of sessions a week. The playgroup supports children with special educational needs and/or disabilities. There are four staff employed to work with the children at each session. Of these, three hold relevant qualifications at level 3 and one is working towards that qualification.
We are a small, friendly Preschool, which is part of our appeal. We offer a wide variety of activities based on the childs interests. At Lysander we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage to cover all learning areas. Our philosophy is that children learn through play and example. Children are given the opportunity to explore, investigate and find out about themselves and the world around them. We follow your childs development and regularly meet with parents to discuss your childs progression. We welcome input and involvement from parents. We are a registered charity so any funds go straight back into developing the preschool for your childs enjoyment.
