To a child the pre-school years are a time of wonder and exploration; a time to learn and play. Our pre-school offers children a chance to have fun, make friends and learn through a varied programme of stimulating and enjoyable activities, using a range of resources all tailored to this age group.

Our overall aim as a pre-school is to enhance the development and education of children below statutory school age within a parent and staff managed community based group in close co-operation with parents.

We aim to:

• Provide high quality care and education for children below statutory school age
• Work in partnership with parents to help children to learn and develop
• Add to the life and well-being of our local community
• Offer children and their parents a service which promotes equality and values diversity
