Premises
The preschool near me, and you, is in a former church which was converted into a preschool. We installed low level child toilets and washbasins to promote self reliance and self confidence. Low level shelves are used to present activities so your child can select activities of their choice, by themselves.
There is a large outdoor play area with a mud kitchen, a growing area and an astro turf play area.
Starting
Children can start on their second birthday.
We have places for immediate start
Your child will be assigned a Key Person who will help them to settle in, make friends and get the most from our extended Montessori curriculum, which encompasses the EYFS. After four weeks your child’s key person arranges a meeting at the preschool to discuss your child’s progress with settling in.
Funding
We can help you to find information to access all funding types including Tax-Free Childcare, 15 hours free childcare and:
30 hours free childcare
