All Hallows Preschool

 

All Hallows Pre-school

The Pre-school is not directly part of the church but we are very supportive of the work done here. The content for this page has kindly been supplied by the Pre-school Management.

About us

We are a Christian-based Pre-school that believes all children should be encouraged to develop to their fullest potential and learn to respect one another. We are based in the pleasant settings of the All Hallows Church Hall and we use the large main hall, small Lancaster Room and outside for our areas of play. We have an open door policy for you to come in and look around.

Our Pre–school is a registered charity (1017259), Ofsted registered (322474) and a member of the Pre School Alliance.

Our Pre-school caters for children aged 2-4 years old.  We have places for 30 children and operate a waiting list system.

We believe that the early years of a child's life are the most crucial in laying down foundations for the future.

Opening times 

We are open, during term time, Monday – Friday. Our opening hours are 9.15 am - 12.15 pm. We offer a flexible drop-off between 9.00 am and 9.15 am.

What we offer your child 

  • A play-based learning environment leading to approved learning outcomes.
  • Individual care and attention made possible by the high ratio of adults to children.
  • Fun and friendship with children and adults.
  • The support of a personal key person.
  • Opportunities for you and your family to be directly involved in the Pre-Sshool and in your own child's progress.
  • Five female staff members who are all highly experienced in Pre-school/ School education and suitably qualified. In addition, we have help from parents and friends of the Pre-school.
  • We are a Safeguarding Pre-school that carries out enhanced CRB checks on all staff and regular volunteers along with other vetting procedures.

What we deliver 

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for children aged from 0-5 years. These cover the areas of:

  • A Unique Child
  • Positive Relationships
  • Enabling Environments
  • Learning & Development. This incorporates the following 6 themes:
    • ​​Communication, Language and Literacy.
    • Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
    • Problem solving, Reasoning and Numeracy.
    • Knowledge and Understanding of the world.
    • Physical Development.
    • Creative Development.

Our key person system enables us to plan a curriculum that is tailored to help meet the individual needs of each child. 

Our fees 

The cost is £10.00 per 3-hour session. There is an additional £1.50 if any parent would like to take advantage of the extra quarter hour for flexible drop-off in the morning e.g. 9.00 am start instead of a 9.15 am start.

As part of the government Nursery Education Funding criteria, every child is entitled to receive their funding for their place, the first full term after their 3rd birthday

If your child is not entitled to Nursery Education Funding, fees can be paid weekly or monthly in cash, cheque or by standing order.
