Our Pre-School
Welcome to Pre-School
Our Pre-School is a school run setting striving to give your child the best start in their school life. It provides an Early Years Provision for children from the age 2 years old. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and adopt a child-led approach to learning. We have dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces that promote children’s learning through play, along with an experienced early years team. This is the perfect environment for your child to take their first steps into education. Each child has a dedicated key worker to help support their development. This is important as it helps build nurturing relationships that promote our school values. Our aim is for children to leave us with independence, compassion and a love for learning.

If your child attends the morning session, you have the option of adding a school meal (or sending them with a packed lunch).

Before And After school club is also available (from 7:30am and up until 6pm) should you require this.
We promote a regular pattern of attendance such as all morning or all afternoons, full days at the beginning of the week, or full days at the end of the week, or full time. This creates more stability for the children, as well as being more effective at promoting a child's personal, social and emotional development. Following this, adhoc sessions maybe offered depending on availability.
