The Ards Peninsula
Where to find us
Chirpy Chicks Playgroup has been providing a playgroup service in the rural village of Greyabbey in various forms for over three decades. In recent years under new management we have moved to encompass pre-school status and our intake of children has expanded to include villages the length and breadth of the Ards Peninsula from Newtownards to Portaferry. We are based in the community run Village Hall in Greyabbey on the A20 main road that runs along Strangford Lough just 10 minutes from Newtownards. This makes us ideally placed for parents and carers leaving children to playgroup on their way to work or elsewhere during our morning sessions. The hall has lots of space, kitchen facilities for snack time and also benefits from large green spaces and a secure tennis court for outdoor play.
Our Pre-school Setting
Helping Your Child Explore, Grow, & Learn
The open space where we’re based gives us a blank canvas to create exciting experiences for our children to learn in. The setting is divided into ‘learning coops 🐥’ with all manner of play activities to enjoy. We’ve every day fun with water, sand, a home setting, craft creation, painting, construction and a book coop for storytime. We also have an ‘Imagination Coop’ where the children decide what they would like to play with inspired by our monthly themes.
Our Vision
Every day’s an Aventure
The entire team at Chirpy Chicks want each and every day to be a fun and rewarding learning experience for the children in our care. By the end of their pre-school year they should be moving up to P1 filled with confidence and a love of learning. We work closely in partnership with all primary schools in our local area to ensure we are guiding the children’s education to flow into the systems they have in place as they transition into more formal schooling. The routines and activities they will be engaging in with new classmates will be second nature allowing them a head start into new adventures in primary school. If you have any questions about how an early years education could benefit your child please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
