Our Pre-School

The Pre-School room has places for up to 48 children. Children develop high levels of involvement as they initiate their own play. Practitioners facilitate and extend their interests through planned activities. Resources are easily accessible so that children can be independent, creating their own tasks, finding their own solutions and developing their ideas. By the time children are ready to move on to their new schools they are confident learners, equipped with essential skills, ready to meet the challenges ahead.

 

Being outdoors has a positive impact on children's health and well-being. It offers opportunities for doing things in different ways and on different scales compared to indoors. Children enjoy having the freedom to explore, be physically active and exuberant. Therefore, we do encourage children to spend as much time as possible outside. Our outdoor area boasts opportunities for constructing on large scale, stretching the children's imagination and building on their creativity, enabling them to learn new skills and techniques. The mud kitchen along with outside taps, hose and sprinkler attachments allows for the children to indulge in exploratory play.

 

The sensory room, garden room and wet room allows exciting and stimulating opportunities for children to access the curriculum in an inventive and purposeful way.
