Your child will embark on their Preschool journey with us at around three years old, enjoying an enriching, learning environment, that fully supports their individual needs through individual play and group activities.
We are passionate about taking care of your Preschool children
The children move up to Preschool when they turn 3 and will stay in this room until they transition to school. As well as learning skills to recognise numbers and start forming letters, Preschool regularly engage in mindfulness and yoga and the children will lead these sessions, demonstrating a huge understanding of self regulation. We strive to provide children with the tools they need to manage their emotions – now and in future. We have a forest school leader, who leads exciting outdoor sessions including cooking round the campfire!
We build strong relationships with the local schools to ensure the smoothest transition possible when the children make that important move to big school!

The transition from Toddlers to Preschool
It’s important that your child has a smooth, consistent and familiar transition from nursery to preschool. Your child will benefit from a stable environment, with familiar caregivers who understand their needs. Children thrive in an environment where they feel safe and secure, while developing the essential skills for future school success.
I do not need childcare, why should I consider sending my child to Preschool?
Preschool provides essential benefits for children who have not attended nursery. It helps them develop foundational skills in socialisation, communication, and early learning. Preschool programs offer structured activities that promote independence, cognitive growth, and emotional development in a safe, supportive setting. Attending preschool also prepares children for the school environment by introducing routines and group interactions. With skilled educators, small class sizes, and a nurturing atmosphere, the personalized attention and developmentally appropriate activities ensure your child’s readiness for the next educational step, all while laying the foundation for a love of learning.
Preparing your child for School Readiness
Preschool is a critical step in preparing children for school and beyond. It helps develop cognitive skills, emotional intelligence, and social competence. By fostering early learning in a structured yet creative environment, children gain a head start in literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving. Preschool also encourages positive peer interactions, building confidence and social skills that are essential as they grow. The stability of familiar caregivers and routines also eases the transition to formal schooling, ensuring children are equipped to succeed academically and emotionally.
