We run well-planned sessions involving play both indoor and outdoors. We also give the children lots of time to play on self chosen and self initiated activities and games. We have an all weather outside play area with and outdoor kitchen and ride on toys. We have an outdoor garden room which we use for group time and more focused activities.

Each child is assigned a key-person who documents their progress using observations that are recorded in their individual Learning Journal in the form of a scrap book. We welcome parents to contribute and share their child interests by providing information and photos to build a good partnership from home to Pre-School.

Parent and carer involvement is actively encouraged within the Pre-School and we hold many fundraising activities throughout the year to help us buy new equipment and resources that benefit the children. The Pre-School has close links with our local Primary Schools and we liase with those particularly before the children transition to school.
