Old Newton Under Fives

Preschool

Old Newton Under Fives Logo

We are a warm friendly Village Pre-School situated in Old Newton Village Hall, we have close links with the local Primary School and work closely with other setting's where Children attend another Pre-School/ Nursery.

We provide activities for children based on children's individual interests and abilities and aim for every child at the setting to reach their full potential. We make full use of our location and take children to the local park and woods, allowing the children the opportunity to learn both in the indoor and outdoor environment. We have an outdoor area which has ramped access and where children can plant and experience learning in the outdoors.

We have a very welcoming approach and encourage parents/carers to talk to us at the start and end of the session, We update children's learning journeys regularly and ensure children are meeting their next steps and encourage Parents/Carers input as your child's first Educators.

We benefit from having a large, light, welcoming open space for children to explore and develop within, and one which is specifically set up for the current children in our care.

The village hall is all on one level, and has easy access to toileting facilities and the outside area.

There is plenty of parking to the left hand side of the hall and our front door can be found at the front of the building.

We have a secure outside space which over looks the community playing fields, park and wooded areas.
