Term Dates 2008

Introducing Penhill Playgroup Welcome to Penhill Playgroup. We were originally formed in the early 1980's as a private venture, however, it soon became clear that to keep going we would have to make changes. In order to be able to raise funds and maybe even have a premises of our own, we became a Registered Charity.

This means that instead of being owned by an individual we are run by a voluntary committee, made up from parents/carers of children attending the Playgroup and Toddler Group and any money raised goes straight back into the group. The committee is responsible for fundraising, finance, policy making and staffing.

Over the years we have grown and are now open for up to 10 sessions a week. This includes a thriving Toddler Group which operates twice a week.

We also benefit from holding up to three afternoon sessions a week at Freshbrook First School in Lancing, and enjoy the full support of the head teacher and staff, who understand the benefits the children receive from becoming familiar with school surroundings.

The two weeks for Easter is the 7th April - 18th April inclusive. Summer Term then starts on 21 April. This is because the Easter bank holidays are so early in the year, so the terms had to be split more evenly.
