The Preschool aims to provide a service for the local community by providing a happy and relaxed environment for children of any culture and/or ability to learn through play. Children are encouraged by example and teaching to care for and respect not only themselves but also others and their environment. We aim to increase confidence, broaden experience and deepen their levels of understanding.
