Records required in relation to children's personal details are maintained enabling staff to cater for individual needs. The guys at Arnold St. Mary's Pre-School are a fantastic team, every day they welcome us with a smile. My little girl Lexie's confidence has grown so much since being a part of pre-school.

Services
Children learn through playing, discovering, experimenting and making friends in a safe, happy and stimulating learning environment. At Arnold St Mary's Pre-School we give children the chance to explore their interests, as we feel they learn better if they are involved in active play. We encourage children to ask questions and think independently.
Arnold St Mary's Pre-School was established 1969 and is a not-for-profit charity, which means that any profit we do make is reinvested into new equipment that the children can enjoy and benefit from. We are based at the Family Centre on Church Lane, Arnold (behind the church), Nottingham. With excellent staff to child ratios, our team is well-qualified, DBS checked and we pay individual attention to the needs and development of each child.
Our new prospectus gives parents a more in-depth overview of our pre-school, with information on how we assess your child and help them learn from play, to keeping a record of your childs journey and how we use a key person to oversee their development. The new prospectus was kindly designed by BLU:72 Creative of Nottingham.
We regularly work with the local community to keep things running at the Pre-School and many local businesses give up either their time or resources to help us out and for that we are eternally grateful. BLU:72 Creative offer their graphic design and marketing services as part of the corporate social responsibility.

My youngest son has recently started here and is loving it. His older sister attended so I knew he would be in safe hands. All the staff have remained the same and you can see how well they all work as a team and their genuine love for the children. They provided a very gentle transition period which resulted in no tears for my son, even in the early days. I have received large amounts of feedback regarding their progress, with lots of examples and photos (which I was given when my daughter left). The outdoor space is excellent and I love that my active child will get lots of opportunity to burn

Until today my son had a lovely experience at this preschool. Today has really upset me, my son was left to play out in the pouring rain, and my mum picked him up with soaking wet shoes socks and clothes. when asking about this she was told my son refused to come inside. My son shouldn't of been allowed out in the pouring rain in the first place. Let alone left to sit around in wet clothes, with spare clothes in his bag.

After first sending my daughter here 4 years ago I just had to send my youngest. She started in September and already can see a hugh difference in her speech, knowledge of colours and many other things. I love that the children have the opportunity to play either indoor or outdoor at their own leisure be it sunny or raining. The staff are amazing and nice to see the same dedicated staff as the first time I came. Overall it's a brilliant pre school to help your little ones get ready for big school.

Great pre school with friendly and experienced staff. My 2 daughters have both attended, with my youngest currently going. There is a great range of activities for the children to do and outside play is encouraged. There is a good balance of learning and play appropriate for the childs age. They provide you with regular feedback on your childs progress and set targets together . Really happy with st marys pre school and my daughter looks forward to her session.

Our daughter loved going to Arnold St Mary’s Pre School. All the staff are really caring & nuturing - our daughter always asked to go. Loved the huge in & out door areas that the children have access to & that the pre school provides water proof trousers & coats so that the children can play out in all weathers should they choose too. The freedom of several activities was brilliant for our daughter to choose from & she also liked the group time. Thank you for a wonderful year with you!
