Chorister Events

Our Stay and Play Sessions give you the chance to experience our fantastic facilities and caring, friendly and fun environment, as well as meet other parents and chat with our wonderful EYFS team.

Designed to give you a taste of life at Chorister School, these sessions offer children the opportunity to engage with EYFS staff and pupils while creating, playing and enjoying stories. We also encourage parents and guardians to take this opportunity to ask any questions they may have.

Sessions run from 9.15am to 10.45am and include fun activities based on a child-friendly book each week, along with free play, snack and story time. Please note the Stay and Play events are for 2.5 Year olds and above.

Why is it called Stay and Play?

It is called Stay and Play because it gives children the opportunity to play and experience the exciting, welcoming day-to-day life of our EYFS setting, while parents and guardians stay with them and chat to staff about any questions they may have. These sessions help children to see whether they would enjoy becoming part of our wonderful EYFS community, while ensuring that parents and guardians remain with them throughout.
