We realise 'term time only' isn't always convenient for working parents and provision for early years holiday club can be very hard to find. Our Early Years Holiday Clubs, which run through the school holidays, are for children from 2 years old; we have high adult to child ratios and highly qualified staff ensuring the children are safe, engaged and having fun all the time.
I am NNEB trained and have a BA (hons) degree in Early Years Education. With over 25 years of opportunities and experience in Early Years I am lucky enough to be able to create a setting filled with authentic treasures and open ended materials. Together with my passionate and forward thinking tribe of staff, we bring a mix of Montessori, Steiner, Reggio Emilia and Te Whariki philosophies to our environment.

Our Son has been attending Potley Hill Pre-School for the last 12 months and we are thrilled with how he is developing. From day one he settled in really well. All the teachers and staff have been really welcoming, caring and supportive. We are really impressed with the variety of activities he gets involved with, visits to the day-care centre, nature walks, PE, Disco’s and healthy eating initiatives to name but a few.
More recently at Potley Hill Pre-School, they have started to adopt the Curiosity Approach which encourages staff to create and inspire a culture of curiosity. This helps the

My little boy has been attending Potley Hill Preschool since February 2018. He absolutely loves it and all the staff there. Since Andrea took over and adopted the Curiosity approach, I have seen him thrive and learn without even realising he he is learning! It is like a home from home for them and all of the ladies are caring and so wonderful with the children.
Even down to the little things like the fact that they visit the daycare centre and run a healthy snack station, it means that the children are learning more than skills to get them ready for school.
I am so happy that I found Potley,

Our twin boys have attended this preschool for the last 5 terms, before moving on to primary school. I can't even express how happy we have been with the provision at Potley Hill Preschool. We looked at a number of preschools in the area and once with saw Potley Hill there was no competition at all! The environment was clean, bright and welcoming and the outside provision for the children was so attractive.
The boys settled immediately into their life at the preschool and this is largely due to the outstanding care given by all the staff at the preschool. They all took time to get to know the

Potley Hill Community Preschool is a superior, top-notch preschool in the Blackwater/Yateley area. The manager and her staff provide support, comfort, and encouragement to both the children and parents. Both of my children attended the preschool and their time at this fantastic setting prepared them for the next steps in their learning journeys, both academically and socially. All of the ladies have the children's best interests at heart and treat each child as if they were their own. The setting is provides the perfect atmosphere for a growing child to explore, play, and progress. Potley Hill

Manager is extremely rude and unprofessional they seem to judge children before getting to know them and letting them settle which gives them the wrong picture of the children they charge a registration fee of 25.00 but don't tell the parents this is a voluntary contribution. They also ask parents to provide snacks which is not what should be happening. Awful nursery awful manager. Being a practitioner myself and having worked in nurserys I would not recomend sending your child here until they sort out all underlying problems.

Both of our daughters have attended this preschool over the past 3 years. The youngest has just finished and it nearly broke my heart to leave. It's simply the most amazing and caring setting to choose for your child. The ladies here are totally focused on the children and do everything possible to ensure they are the happiest they can be. The manager always goes above and beyond with every child in her care to give them the best start in life. I can't recommend this preschool enough. It's simply outstanding and I'm glad that Ofsted recognises this too.

My little boy goes to Potley Hill Preschool. I love him going there and he loves going there. He had been at home with me since he was a baby, so was a little worried about leaving him but the staff are all so lovely, you can see that they really care about the children. His social skills were a little behind his age group but with the help and support of the ladies there he is absolutely thriving. I have a 3 month old little girl and whilst I do not want to wish her life away, I can't wait for her to go here and see her become a well rounded little girl. I would recommend this preschool to anyone
