Hermitage Pre-School
The Hermitage Pre School opened its doors in 1967, firstly as a playgroup and then later as a pre school, and has been providing a safe, caring and stimulating environment for children for over 40 years. As a member of the PreSchool Learning Alliance, we are committed to the philosophy of children learning through play in an environment where they feel secure and cared for as individuals. As such we fully support the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework. We are registered and inspected by OfSTED. As a village pre school we have strong links with the local community and the local schools, allowing the transition to 'big school' when the time comes, to be as easy and relaxed as possible, alongside the friends the children have already made at pre school.
