Duxford Preschool is a small, welcoming and vibrant Ofsted-registered preschool that cares for children from the age of two years and three months to five years old. We are open Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm, during term time only and offer half day and full day sessions. The Preschool is situated within the grounds of Duxford Community Primary School, where we occupy our own self-contained room with a dedicated outdoor play area.
Originally established in 1970, the Preschool has built up a well-regarded and proven reputation for delivering high quality early years care and education to local families. The curriculum follows the Revised Early Years Foundation Stage and staff have high aspirations for children, ensuring they make good progress in their learning and development and are kept healthy and safe.
