Our Lady's Preschool

When parents/carers visit our pre-school we always give them unlimited time to talk about their child's individual needs, likes and dislikes and their routines at home and whether there are any concerns or additional needs that their child will require extra support and help with.

We go through the registration form with them to ascertain if there are any allergies/ cultural or religious dietary requirements; their child's toileting or nappy changing routine etc.Registration information asks for details about other professionals involved such as speech therapist or paediatrician and any other EYFS provider that the child is known to i.e if the child attends another pre-school.

My son absolutely loves the nursery. We started with a very clingy boy and we could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. We now have a very confident boy who looks forward to nursery every day due to the support, patience and care provided. The setting is always clean and tidy. All members of staff are always very informed, polite and most importantly look happy when greeting you at the door.

If you would like a place for your child at our centre, please make an appointment and we'll gladly take the time to explain everything you need to know. You can make an appointment by phone or by using our contact form. We look forward to meeting you!

We were rated 'Good' for our first Ofsted Inspection, after only five months of opening, they gave a special mention to the very good teamwork and deployment of staff and the beautiful manners and good behaviour of our children - an excellent achievement, so soon after starting.

As it stated in our Risk Assessment and Impenmentation plan, all of the resources we provided, were materials that were easily and thoroughly cleaned after every session. No carpets or soft materials were used. When we returned after half term in Feburary we had split the hall into two bubbles using clear dividers so the children from each bubbles can still see each other on both sides.

This term we are looking at exploration of colours. We will be mixing the colours to see what other colours we can make. The children will be encouraged to see what colours they can see around their environment and every day life such as fruit, wildlife, colours of their hair, eyes, clothes etc. This topic will be continued throughout the pre-school with the toys and different activities.
