Strawberry (Pre-School)
Our pre-school room provides a stimulating and inspiring
environment designed to assist children, aged between 3 years and 5
years, with more structured learning and play. The planning of activities
is designed to hone children’s confidence, independence and willingness
to learn.
The balance in timetable will shift to more adult-led activities to prepare children for more formal learning methods. Our staff will deliver effective teaching and learning to enable children to progress and be ready for school.
The activities do not move completely away from play but incorporate early stage reading, writing, mathematics and ICT.
