At Long Buckby Preschool we provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment for your child. In this environment your child will be encouraged and motivated to learn and develop linguistically, intellectually, physically and socially from play-based activities, whilst working towards the early learning goals.
Through interaction and play with our dedicated key workers and other children, your child will develop a wealth of early learning and social skills. We encourage children to think for themselves and develop skills which will allow for a smooth and confident transition to primary school. And when the time comes we will be there to support your child as the move on to reception.

Services
It is a well known fact that children need to feel safe and secure within a setting to get the most out of their time there. At Long Buckby Preschool we structure our day around a routine that offers a familiar structure during each of our sessions. For much of the session we offer "Free Flow" play where the children can select the activities they wish to use and they are able to access the outdoor classroom at any time.
Staff continually observe the children whilst they are at Preschool. This is to ensure that each child is progressing and to aid the staff in their planning, to enable activities to be pitched at the appropriate level to maximise the learning for the children. Observations will be taken by all staff members and are entered on to the child's Tapestry online learning journal.
Long Buckby Preschool is a registered charity and is jointly run by the Preschool staff and a committee of parents. The Committee work alongside our fantastic Preschool team and our Manager, who manages the day to day aspects of Preschool, such as the staff, implementation of the curriculum and the children's development and welfare.
We are currently in the process of reviewing our session and key group structure within Preschool. As part of this review we are looking to open all sessions up to children of all ages. In the past Wednesday has been a dedicated session for the Wise Owls (children starting school in the following academic year, in this case 2021).

Well what can I say about long buckby pre school??? it's not a pre school it's an extended family. I always felt like I was taking my son and my older children to a family member. my 4 year old son was very… over whelmed when he first started. which made me feel unsure. the staff always adjusted the setting for him. so if he needed an extra cuddle he got one. it's an amazing place and the staff are amazing. each and everyone one them form an amazing relationship with the children. they go above and beyond what I ever expected my son to get out of pre school. wood work, to day trips on the

My little boy has gone from strength to strength since starting at Long Buckby preschool. The staff are amazing; they are all so caring and they obviously work extremely hard to provide a loving, homely atmosphere for the children.
I would recommend this setting for anyone who wants to be sure their little ones will be loved and cared for while they are away from them: absolutely amazing place!
PS an extra special mention for Mary, who is the most superb key worker I could ever have imagined. You are all utterly fabulous!

All three of my children have attended Long Buckby Pre School and I can't recomend it enough.. We chose it because of the highly experienced staff and the warm friendly environment provided for the children. All areas of learning are covered in a wide variety of ways, and you can see just how much the children love being there. Most recently my son… attended who has additional needs, and I have to say I am truly thankfully for the support we received both during and after his diagnosis. My son received one to one support and we had regular reviews of his progress with the lead senco and
