To contact Pre-School directly, please call: 07728236413 We are taking details for spaces in afternoons for academic year 2025-26. We are currently full for the morning sessions. Please call to add your child to the waiting list or for more details. You can visit the preschool to have a look at our learning environment and meet our team, please call us to arrange a viewing. Academic year 2025-26: For those children who have been accepted for academic year 2025-26 you will receive an email about the transition process. Below are key dates for your diary:
Applying for a place at Pre-School As soon as your child becomes 3 and if we have a space, your child can begin in our pre-school. As long as places are available, children may start at any point of the year, but it is more likely a place will be secured by getting on the waiting list as early as possible. We are not able to hold a space open for children starting mid-year. You can also apply for a space in advance, for example, the academic year 2026-27. Term Time Opening Hours We are currently open Monday to Friday 7.45am to 6pm. Options currently exist for a school day 8.45am - 3.15pm Morning session 8.45am - 11.45am Afternoon session 1.00 - 4.00pm Wrap around care from 7.45 - 8.45 and 3.15 - 6.00pm Options currently exist for term-time only with the option of a holiday camp during most holidays.
