We have 3 Pre School rooms each with a Room Leader and a Nursery Nurse.  Each Pre School room can care for 10 children.

We will arrange settling in sessions for new children and children moving on through the nursery.

Our Pre School rooms are laid out to allow the children to choose which activity they would like to play with.  The construction and role play areas give them the chance to use their imaginations and make up wonderful games whether they are firemen, builders, mummies and daddies, astronauts or shop keepers.  The maths area includes a computer with age appropriate games,  weighing and measuring equipment, matching games and puzzles so the children are learning whilst they are playing.  A snuggle in the book corner with a favourite story can take your child into a fantasy world or help them explore their feelings and emotions. 

Our art and craft activities will offer your child the chance to produce a masterpiece to take home or display in the play room.  Our staff team will have no expectations of how a piece of artwork should look so all children are praised and feel valued.

Group time is where we all sit together and learn to listen to each other and discuss topics such as the seasons, birthdays, holidays or families.  We spend time with our children encouraging writing skills, recognising numbers and colours, and using their interests to plan future activities.

Our garden gives our children the chance to further develop their physical skills with a wide range of outdoor resources.  The ‘Den’ has become a firm favourite with the building blocks and tents giving rise to fantastic imaginative play.  The children love the learning cycle of growing in our vegetable plots and enjoy preparing and cooking food they have grown.

When it is time for your child to move onto school, we will have nurtured their thirst for learning and given them the confidence to make choices so they can look forward to their next exciting adventure.
