The Playstation Pre-School
Preschool
The Playstation Pre-school group is a well-established group, which has been running for many years. We are fortunate enough to have use of secure premises situated within Hadleigh Community Primary School, but with the benefit of having a building separate from the main school, therefore remaining our independence. We follow Ofsted recommendations and are regularly inspected by them. We are a non-profitable organisation, with charitable status, run by a voluntary committee. We are dedicated in our policy and aim to provide a safe, secure and happy environment, where pre-school children can learn through play and socialise and enjoy a wide variety of resources and activities. These will broaden their experiences and awareness of the world around them. We are open term time only from 8.30 am - 3.30 pm and offer 15 hours funded sessions for all 3 & 4 years old's (the term after their 3rd birthday) and for those 2 year old's who meet the eligibility criteria. We also offer the extra 15 hours for eligible 3 & 4 years old's.
