St Paul’s Pre-school is a community-based charity that provides children with a wonderful, homely environment in which to play and learn. Our aim is to enhance the development and education of children from two years and six months to school age.  

Our highly-regarded staff encourage the children to progress at their own pace with carefully planned activities, both inside and outside, developing their social skills and confidence.

Children play with each other across the setting as well as being part of smaller groups that meet regularly. They also develop a special bond with their allocated key worker who records observations and achievements. These are shared with parents privately online via Tapestry.
