Founded in 1975, Buttsbury Pre-school is a place of fun-based learning for children aged two to five years. Over the last 40 years, we have established a reputation for providing a consistent and high standard of care for all children. The pre-school is situated within the grounds of Buttsbury Infant School in Billericay.
Our modern building was opened in 2011 with a bright and spacious playroom and child-friendly, outdoor classroom. Alongside our immaculate educational facilities, we also have a fully-equipped training room for hire and a state of the art sensory room. At Buttsbury Pre-school, our main aim is to provide for the needs of each individual child through stimulating play activities in a safe and caring environment.

Buttsbury Pre-school is a small charitable business. Fees cover the running costs of the pre-school but it is the fundraising activities organised by the fundraising team that enable us to replace and purchase vital equipment from small play resources such as paint, paper and books to larger items such as outdoor toys, tables and chairs and even annual trips.

The Local Offer is a living and organic resource that will be developed over time with the assistance of our partners, parents and young people.
