Are you looking for high quality childcare and pre-school education in a safe and nurturing setting?

Welcome to Ladybirds!

Open 8.45am-3pm Monday- Friday

Our Pre-school, Ladybirds, is led by Mrs Birchley and supported by Mrs Hose. Together they create a safe, joyful place where children feel secure and happy to play and learn together. Every day, exciting play opportunities and first-hand experiences lead our children to rich and enjoyable discoveries.

The best way to find out more about our wonderful Pre-school is to come and see us. You are welcome any time, so please call or email our admin team to arrange a visit. In the meantime, we very much hope you enjoy your ‘virtual’ visit!

 

In Ladybirds, we offer high quality childcare and pre-school education in our purpose-built learning areas for 3 and 4 year-olds. With a large indoor room that has access to our own secure outdoor space. The outdoor learning zone has been totally transformed in the past few years and boasts excellent resources. 

Take a look at our photos and see what fun we're having! 

With increased flexibility of staff, indoor and outdoor learning spaces and resources, as well as common themes and daily planned times together, we are offering our youngest children the best possible start at school.  

Mrs Birchley and Mrs Hose are our preschool & nursery teaching assistants and key workers, with Mrs Muskett (Reception Class Teacher) being our EYFS lead and Mrs Brown (our headteacher) having overall responsibility.

Play                                                                                                                                                    Learning through play is a big part of the early years experience. Children learn so much through play that it is a very important part of the school day with regular opportunities for structured and unstructured play. We encourage our children to be outside and active as much as we can.

 

We accept children from 3 years and take pride in ensuring a smooth transition into The Robin Class as the children start school.  Parents can use the 15 or 30 hours of government funding towards childcare, with each additional session costing £15.00.  We organise nursery funding on your behalf.

We recommend you book a visit to see both preschool and the school in action. We look forward to meeting you and your little one.  Please call the school business manager, Sam Newman, on 01453 882474 for further information.
