How do we help develop your child

Experiencing independence from the immediate carer.

Respecting and responding to other adults and children outside the environment.

Interacting with other pre-school children, developing social skills such as sharing, taking turns, making friends and understanding and respecting the rules of the community.

Playing freely within a safe environment to develop their imagination, confidence and self-esteem.

Gaining listening skills and developing their concentration span through adult led activities such as music, stories, singing and games.

Attendance at Pre-school

To help with efficient running of our Pre-school please note the following:

Children are only covered by our insurance during normal opening hours. We do no accept responsibility at any other time.

Fees are payable monthly. Prompt payment is appreciated to keep running costs down and aid effective administration. Fees have to be charged as usual during periods of absence. Please inform us 4 weeks in advance of any changes or if a child is leaving us.

Please do not encourage the children to bring in toys or treasured items from home in case they are lost or damaged.

The children are encouraged to explore with different materials such as water, paint, sand and glue etc. They may well get messy so please dress your child appropriately. All fastenings should be simple so that your child can quickly and easily go to the toilet. Rainbow "T" shirts and sweatshirts are available to purchase. Please see a member of staff for details.

For safety reasons we ask that the children wear soft-soled shoes and refrain from wearing open toed sandals or wellington boots in the classroom.
