Witnesham Pre-School

Preschool

We offer children from 0-5 years a safe, secure environment in which to learn and play, developing skills to help them make friends. We are an Ofsted registered Pre-school rated 'Good'. Our staff are qualified and experienced in every aspect of Early Years Education. At the Pre-school we pride ourselves in the strong links with the primary school through use of their excellent facilities, we also join in with them for gardening and when children are ready to go up to primary school they join in with the reception for rising 5's once a week in the summer term. We strive to teach the children through the varied curriculum of the EYFS using the six areas of learning, which provides them with a balanced experience and education. We have a large outdoor area where we do lots of gardening, growing vegetables and flowers. We climb aboard the library bus which visits once a month so the children can pick new books to have in Pre-school. We attend our local toddler group with the children and we have access to a local park which we visit too, we also go on nature walks around the fields which back onto the preschool.
