Overview
We are a very well established preschool situated in the heart of West Bridgford,with an excellent reputation with the local schools, families and childminders. We provide sessions to 22 children per morning, where we offer a wide range of well planned activities covering all the 7 areas of learning and where children learn through play, have fun, make friends and learn to become more independent in readiness for starting school.
Our biggest strength is our team of staff, who are extremely experienced and very well qualified including a qualified primary school teacher. We operate an open door policy so parents can come in any time to help out, discuss their child’s progress or join in with our activities. For prospective parents it is best to call beforehand to make sure we have someone available to spend quality time with them when they call in.
