The Garden Preschool is a non-profit making organisation, which is run by an elected management committee of parents and staff. The Preschool is registered with Ofsted as ‘Good’ and we are able to take up to 32 children per session from the ages of 2 years up to rising 5 years. In addition of this we are also a registered charity (Charity Commission Number 1047190).
We hold regular fundraising events throughout the term. Fundraising is a vital part of our activities, we rely on the support of the parents to run a series of fundraising events throughout the year e.g. a sponsored sports event in the summer and an Easter raffle along with regular cake sales and many other events and fun days. Fundraising can be hard but can also be FUN, we find that it brings people together and adds to the involvement our parents have with the Preschool. Please see our noticeboard for dates of our meetings.
The Garden Preschool operates 5 sessions per week (Term Time only), Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday consisting of 2 sessions a day 9am- 12pm and 12pm-3pm. We also offer 30 Hour places but these are subject to availability.
We are committed to equal opportunities and beliefs and the values derived from different backgrounds should be recognized and respected. We aim to provide a positive and stimulating environment from which all children can achieve their best. We celebrate and value the diversity of all who are associated with the Preschool. We promote access for all children to the same range of services, facilities, curriculum and resources. Including providing materials that positively reflect diversity and are free from discrimination and stereotyping. We challenge unacceptable language, actions or beliefs, that may be prejudicial or exclusive to others. We allow all children, regardless of ethnicity, culture or religion, home language, family background, learning difficulties, gender or ability to have opportunity to experience a positive and rewarding learning through play experience.
