​

Younger children begin attending mornings, 9am-12pm and move to full days when they are ready.

During the holidays RSG runs PlayWeeks for all ages.

A day at Ready Steady Go

We balance a planned educational programme with spontaneous, child-initiated activities. We both take our lead from the individual children’s interests and build on their abilities.

 

As well as teacher-led activities, children are given opportunities to choose the activities in which they wish to participate. We encourage sustained, uninterrupted periods of self-motivated play, allowing and enabling children to explore, experiment and think for themselves.

PlayWeeks

During the holidays and some half-terms we run PlayWeeks, each built around a theme. 

 

PlayWeeks are more informal and less consciously educative than a pre-school week during term time. Wherever possible, there will be a teacher from every centre, bringing familiarity to the child’s experience.

 

There are lots of free-choice activities, making and baking, and arts and crafts. There is no record-keeping but there are many adventures. 

Arrange a Visit

We welcome families to visit our Primrose Hill centres, meet our educators and experience the Ready Steady Go environment first-hand. Our admissions team is available to answer questions, guide you through the process and help you find the right setting for your child’s early years journey.
