We are currently held in Watlington Village Hall but we are relocating to a mobile within Watlington Community School grounds in September 2011.

We have a friendly team consisting of Pre School Manager, Deputy Manager and 6 Pre School Assistants one of which takes care of all our SENCO needs.  All staff attend relevant training courses where appropriate and keep up to date with the latest developments in all aspects of childcare.  We welcome parent help and encourage Partnership with Parents.

Our aim is:

To provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment

To work within the Early Years Framework which ensures equality of opportunity for all children and families

 We offer your child:

A specially tailored curriculum to meet the unique needs of each child with a key person for individual children.

Individual care and attention made possible by a high ratio or 1 adult to 4 children under 3 years, and 1 adult to 8 children over 3 years.  There are a maximum of 26 children per session.

Fun and friendship with children and other adults

We work very closely with the school to ensure a smooth transition to the next stage of education.

An elected committee helps to run our pre school, most of which have children who attend our school.  We always need extra committee members so would welcome new parents who would like to help.
