All children are welcome at our Pre-School

We make our Pre-School accessible to children and families from all sections of the local community regardless of ethnicity, gender, special education needs, disabilities, background, religion or having English as an additional language.   We do this by:

– not having a catchment area so that all children from the local community are able to attend our Pre-School;

– feeding into Micklands Primary and all other local primary schools;

– providing information in clear, concise language, whether in spoken or written form;

– welcoming parents, other relations and other carers including childminders at our Pre-School;

– being aware of children’s needs arising from their gender, disabilities, social background, special educational needs, religion, ethnicity or from English being an additional language;

– enabling children and/or parents with disabilities to take part in the life of the setting.

Our admissions process

We require a fully completed Registration Form and a visit to pre-school before we can offer a place to your child.

Although our main admission of new children takes place every September at the beginning of each new school year in the Autumn Term, we will still offer places to new children in the Spring Term (January) and Summer Term (April) if we have places available.

Allocation of sessions

We are very flexible about the allocation of sessions and days.  We try to accommodate the preferences of parents provided it does not disrupt the pattern of continuity in the setting or prevent other new children from joining the Pre-School.  We will also consider the individual needs of the child and our staffing levels.
