Starting Playgroup - a New Experience

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Rosebery Playgroup. We trust that your time spent here will be an enjoyable one. For both you and your child starting playgroup can be a very stressful experience. Together we will do everything we can to help your child settle and be happy here. Rosebery Playgroup is a small, happy and friendly group who have been providing pre-school education in South Queensferry since 1968

On the First Day

Some children settle very quickly, others gain confidence through gradually building up the length of time left in playgroup. All children are different, therefore it is important to allow your child time to become happy and secure in the playroom.

On the first day you will be asked to stay in the playroom as the presence of a familiar adult can help to comfort and reassure your child in this new situation. If your child is doing well then we will ask you to go for a cup of tea/coffee in the kitchen. Parents must not leave the building.
