Services
St Philip's has been operating a preschool from the church hall for over 30 years serving the local community. We are registered with OFSTED and we are a member of the Preschool Learning Alliance (PLA).
We operate from one large playroom and we have access to a small enclosed outside area, which enables staff to observe and interact with all children, and with four full time members of staff, children not only benefit from a high staff: child ratio but develop a rapport and trust in all the staff.

Before the children come into the building, the children put their snacks on the top shelf of the trolley outside (weather permitting), their lunch box on the middle or bottom shelf. Drinks are placed on the drinks trolley and folders placed in the box provided. Children are let into the building as they arrive, saying goodbye to their parents at the door.

Tash has previously worked as a nanny, more recently for Music Bugs and at Beechcroft Infant school.
We can offer one off bookings for those who need ad hoc occasional last minute care, or you can block book for the whole week, term, or year. All you need to do is provide your child with a non sugary cereal, and we will provide the rest. We offer a choice of morning sessions, afternoons, all day or a mixture of all three, if available.
On Friday mornings, we have been for walks around Merton fields looking at the leaves changing colour and looking at the caterpillar and butterfly statues, playing tag on the field and enjoying the fresh air. We have recently planted various lettuce seeds, tomatoes, strawberries, violas and pansies and lots of spring bulbs.
