Pre-school Rooms

Our Preschool Rooms
The Pre-school Building is bright and vibrant and provides a busy, friendly environment in which children have the opportunity to form friendships and build on their knowledge and understanding.
We provide activities for the children that enable them to develop skills which will be used in later life, namely social and communication skills.
Within the Pre-School section we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework as well as the Montessori Method and have started to build links with the local schools.
The rooms are set up into sections using the seven areas of learning: Personal, Social & Emotional. Communication and language. Physical development. Understanding of the World. Mathematics. Literacy. Expressive art and design.
Our Preschoolers have access to the Computer Room, Sensory Room, Music Room and Montessori Room. Click below to find out more.
