We provide two sessions per day 9.00a.m. – 11.30a.m. and 12.45 – 3.15p.m.

We employ three full time members of staff and two part time members of staff all of whom hold relevant qualifications for their positions. We also encourage students from local colleges and regular volunteers giving them opportunities to gain experience in childcare.

At Withymoor pre-school we concentrate on developing children’s early learning skills, we feel the early years of a child’s development are vitally important for a child’s overall development and outlook. We feel the time and effort spent on a child’s behalf at this stage will pay dividends later.

We strive to provide a friendly and supportive environment with clearly defined routines and discipline together with encouragement of self-development, hopefully giving children the opportunities to enjoy learning, appreciate beautiful things and develop appropriate behaviour.

We encourage parent in partnership and endeavour to celebrate all children’s achievements with parents.

We plan our sessions toward the stepping stones as laid out in the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundations Stage and we hope after their time at pre-school our children will develop into independent active learners who carry on through their life with a thirst for learning.

We also work very closely with the Foundation Stage Co-ordinator in school to ensure the transition from our setting to reception is as smooth as possible.
