Little Acorns Pre-school
Preschool
Little Acorns Pre-School provides care and education for children aged two to four years. We are based within the grounds of Sidegate Primary School, Ipswich. We have two settings within the school's grounds, Acorns and Oaks. We are an Ofsted registered early years provider following the Early Years Foundation Stage. We are a registered charity run by a voluntary committee. We have strong links with the primary school allowing us to use some of their facilities and ensuring smooth transitions.
Little Acorns is a natural, homely and stimulating Pre-school. We pride ourselves on our parent partnerships that allow key people and families to work together to support children in furthering their learning and development. We are responsive to children's needs and all children are respected and valued for who they are. The team works together to provide an enriching environment and stimulating, unique experiences that give a sense of awe and wonder. We work with the children to build resilience and independence giving them the confidence to believe in their capabilities.

Support for people with disabilities
- Experience of including people with special educational needs and disabilities
We provide an environment in which all children, including those with special educational needs are supported to reach their full potential.
We have a Special Educational Needs Coordinator in each setting who aims to identify specific needs and provide relevant support, working in partnership with parents, carers and other professionals to provide best outcomes for the children.
Our premises are modern and purpose built and both have outdoor areas.
We have access to a gym trail and a large playing field.
