Employer Description:

Meadows Community Pre-School isn't just about the children. A welcoming and stimulating environment in which to enrich young minds and lives through a play to learn approach. We treat each child as special and individual; we allow the children's natural curiosity and enthusiasm to instil a real love of learning. We recognise that even the youngest children look, listen and learn most effectively through play activities. We promote confidence, respect for others, good manners, self-awareness and an interest in the environment in which they grow and learn in a natural way through freedom of movement and choice.  We have a fun, fresh approach to early years development. 

We take care of your little ones like they are our own
We want children to feel that this is their home from home, where they are nurtured and cared for.#They learn through play without even realising it

Our pre-school is run by a dedicated group of trustees and staff and was established in 2015 when the Children’s Centre closed. We are registered with Ofsted and currently hold a ‘Good’ judgement following our latest inspection in July 2023. We use the Early Years Foundation Stage to underpin our curriculum to ensure that children make good progress towards the Early Learning Goals.
