The Pre-School is located on the First Floor and has lots of space for the children to play. Our Pre-School consisting of a large carpeted room which allows the children space to sit and play and an interconnecting room for Meal times, messy play and arts and crafts. Toilets and a cloakroom are located within the Pre-School which the children can access independently (though there is always a member of staff overseeing the toilets). We also have a Secret Den the children love playing in.

 

The design of the room gives children the ability to safely roam freely, choosing resources that they wish to use such as a computer (without internet access), a craft area, role play area, messy room and quiet areas. 

​

Like the Nursery, the standard of childcare in the Pre-school has been recognised as having Outstanding elements and like the Nursery the Pre-School has outdoor sessions twice a day.
