POLICIES | Fowlmere Playgroup

Fowlmere Playgroup is registered for 20 Children at each session and currently has 13 on roll. Typically each year we have a higher proportion of boys to girls, this year it is (8:5) and predominantly have a white British cohort – currently 77%; also 15% British German & 8% British Romanian. At present 92% of our children have English as their first language, with 8% bilingual (Romanian/English).

Our catchment area for the setting is Fowlmere, Great Chishill, Heydon and Chrishall Grange in line with the catchment for our feeder primary school, although we also have children attend outside of catchment such as Shepreth, Barrington and Orwell. 54% of children attending at present live within our catchment area. 69% of our cohort are in receipt of 30 hours government funding for eligible working families.

We currently have 0 SEND children and have helped families’ access additional services and support to assist with their additional needs in the past. We currently have 7% children in receipt of EYPP or claiming 2-year funding, in discussion with parents/ carers any additional funding is used to benefit the individual child and their family. All our families consist of at least one working parent and 100% of our current cohort of children consist of two parent families.
