More about Pre-School

When to apply
Children can join our pre-school from the age of 3 or above. 3 year olds are entitled to 15 hours of funded early education per week.

If you are a working parent, you may be eligible for 30 hours of funded childcare. To check your eligibility and apply, please click HERE.

 

Our Pre-School day
We offer both full and half day sessions to suit your families needs.

  • Our half day sessions are: 9am - 12pm
  • Our full day sessions are: 9am - 3pm
  • Early start option: From 8:30am

Additional hours outside of funded entitlement can be paid for, if required. You can also split your funding between two settings if that works better for your child and family.

 

Staff and ratios
At our pre-school, we believe that high quality adult interactions and strong relationships are key to a child's development. That's why we take great care in selecting and supporting our team. We maintain excellent staff-to-child ratios, ensuring that every child receives the attention and care that they need. Our team is made up of highly trained and experienced professionals who are passionate about early years education.

 

Mealtimes and toileting

Mealtimes
We offer a morning snack of fruit, milk and water. Children are encouraged to develop independence by pouring their own drinks and peeling fruit themselves.

At lunchtime, families can choose between a hot meal (available to order every morning) or a packed lunch from home.

If you think that you may be entitled to free school meals, please apply HERE.

Toileting
We understand that every child is at a different stage in their toileting journey. Our staff are happy to support your child whatever stage they are at. We have changing facilities available on site.
