Feel free to reach out to us to check our availability, schedule a visit, or ask any questions you may have. Once you express interest in joining our pre-school, we will add you to our waitlist to ensure your spot.
Alternatively, you can register your child's space here.
Once you are on the waitlist, we evaluate the available sessions based on your requests. We aim to inform you as soon as possible, typically in the month leading up to your requested start date.
Absolutely!
We invite families to visit our setting in person to explore the environment and speak with our staff. You can schedule a visit here. Additionally, we provide settling-in sessions prior to starting preschool.
Yes, we encourage all families to bring their child for a settling-in session with us. There is no limit to the number of sessions you can have. Each child settles in differently, so we work closely with you to arrange sessions tailored to your child's needs.
In your child's bag for their session, please include the following items: a water bottle, a healthy lunch if they are staying for lunch, and spare clothes. If your child is toilet training, we recommend packing multiple spare outfits, including socks. For children in nappies, please provide enough nappies for their session, along with wipes and cream in case it is needed.
During the winter months, your child will need a warm, waterproof coat or all-in-one suit for outdoor play, as well as spare wellies to keep at pre-school. In the summer, please provide a sun hat and factor 50+ sun cream to keep at the setting. It is essential to label all your child's belongings, as we cannot be responsible for lost items.
Both of our rooms follow similar routines. During the day, we offer free play, including in the outdoor areas. In the morning, we start the day with dancing or yoga, followed by snacks in the morning and afternoon. The under 2s also have designated rest and nap times in the afternoon.
Our toddler room is well-equipped for nap times. We provide cots for your little ones, a cosy den with twinkling lights and lullabies, as well as sleep mats. Please speak with your child's key worker for more information about nap times.
Nursery in a Box is the system we use daily for registers, accidents, medications and messages, all to keep you informed about your child. Through your parent portal app you can also see your child's daily activities, personal care routines, progress, and regular photo updates.
When you register your child, you will receive an email prompting you to provide your details. This is done through the parent portal, an app is available for download. Here, you can complete your registration forms and enter all of your child's important information.
Here, you can track your child's daily diary and monitor their personal care throughout the day. You also have the opportunity to leave comments, receive instant updates in the event of an accident, and send direct messages to the pre-school with any queries. Additionally, you can view your child's observations at the setting and upload their achievements from home.
You can stay informed about your child's "All About Me" profile, which helps the pre-school understand their daily routines, preferences, and any important information.
You can upload any photos or comments about what you've been doing at home for us to discuss during the day. Feel free to include any messages you may have forgotten to mention during handover, as well as any questions or queries you have.
Additionally, please provide your child's funding code, and use this to book their absences or request extra sessions.
Yes, we do.
The minimum requirement is 3 hours of sessions per week.
We accept all funding, if you are unsure if you are eligible for funding please check the Childcare Choices website.
