Our Mission
Bringing children and success together through play
We are staffed by dedicated professionals in Early Years Education.
We believe in working in partnership with parents to ensure their children’s needs are identified and met.
We recognise that you as parents are your young child’s first educators and we welome your involvment at preschool to ensure that your child’s home based learning and the learning we offer extend and reinforce each other.
We warmly welcome your involvement on all aspects of preschool.
We provide a fantastic large enclosed and safe outside space with an abundance of outside toys to play with.
We are able to provide a safe and warm environment for children to learn and develop. We have a large number of resources to enable the children to explore both the indoor and outdoor environment. We believe that giving the children a variety of experiences which include a number of trips out within the local community help and support their learning.
We are Ofsted inspected and therefore follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Guidance and strongly believe that children develop and learn through play. We also work closely with All Saints’ Primary School and other local primary schools to ensure a smooth transition to school for every child. We operate a equal opportunities policy in which every child is valued regardless of sex, faith, religion, skin colour or culture.
