Pre-School Details
Our Room: Our
Pre-School room is large and bright and designed
specifically for children. We have a large range of
top quality educational toys and games. All our
equipment is cleaned daily and we operate a high
standard of hygiene and safety.
Curriculum.
We believe that fun and games go hand and hand with
learning and exploring our surroundings. With this
in mind we have under taken curriculum training and
put in place a positive and balanced programme of
care for our children. A monthly plan is displayed
for parents.
Healthy Eating
Policy.
We have a healthy eating policy, which
encourages Children to bring healthy snacks. We
encourage children to bring fruit juice, milk or
water to drink. Bread, Cheese, Yoghurts, and fruits
are all suitable snacks. Crisps, sweets and fizzy
drinks will be only allowed on party days. Every
Friday we have fruity Friday in which we provide
fruit for a the Pre-School children. This is a fun
way of introducing them to the benefits of fruit.
