The Pre-school’s aims are to provide a safe and stimulating environment in which children will thrive. Children will be encouraged to develop their own individual needs as well as learn new skills. Learning through play is an integral part of our routine. We work within the EYFS - The Early Years Foundation Stage.
Your children will be loved and cared for as if they were our own children. If they need a cuddle they will get one, if they need a chat we will make time for them, if they are having a bad day we will encourage them and make them feel better.
“There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing”
We are a free-flow setting, children can choose to play outside or inside and move between the two throughout the day. We ensure our environment is rich in both areas and let the children take ownership of our environment, listening to what they want and taking note of how they are playing and investigating and acting accordingly.
Your child will be encouraged to explore and investigate. THEY WILL GET DIRTY! Please do not send them in any clothes that are precious to you. We are big believers that if a child goes home mucky then they have had a good time!
Please ensure you dress your child appropriately for all weathers as we go out all year round.
“Our daughter attended preschool at St Charles and absolutely loved it. Everyone at the school was warm, loving and highly attentive. We felt the staff really got to know our daughter and really cared about her development. It was an experience we’ll never forget.”
