Teach children to dream with their eyes open

Children in Preschool have found their independence and are beginning to voice their own opinions, expressing their likes and dislikes.

Preschool

Structured to represent a classroom feel in this final year of nursery, preschool can accommodate for up to 24 children within the main room and conversatory.

Children have their own toilets and handwashing facilities and neighbour our new sensory room.

Children benefit from the largest of our garden areas to the front of the nursery, shared with Juniors.

Environment

We have two spacious ajoining ooms that are set up to provide interesting and challenging experiences that meet the needs of all children.

We ensure the environments meet all short and long-term planning, supporting and enhancing children’s learning and development holistically through play-based activities.

Preschool curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to prepare children for school.

We thrive to ensure children are confident and independent and ready for their next big adventure.

Through extending their creative opportunities, introducing Jolly phonics that supports school reception teaching and engaging children in conversation to investigate the world for their own moments of awe and wonder.

We aim for children to be able to take care of their own personal needs and begin to understand the importance of health and well-being and the things that take place in society and within our homes to support this.

Set challenges and take risks

Preschool Outdoors

We draw on children’s needs and interests to inform future planning, activities and resources whether adult-led or child-initiated, both indoors and outdoors.

With free play access to mud kitchens, balance beams, a climing wall and sports equipment as well as ride on balance and pedal play equipment, we are lucky to have such a large area for the children to play and learn.

Preschool Team

Our superb and knowledgeable staff excel in supporting children to collaborate with others and resolve social conflict through teamwork and taking ownership of their feelings and behaviours.

Our preschool team have a wealth of professional and personal experience. On the ratio of 1:8 staff to children, our team are there to support the children in this final stage before moving onto school.

New Autumn 2023 Sensory Room

Our new sensory room has been designed by our experienced SENDCO to create a room that supports all children.

A quiet working space with natural resources, fidget toys, lighting and blackout tent, that offers opportunity for 1:1 work and small group work. With tailored resource we have created a zone that supports attention and focusing as well as self regulation.

'Children are gaining the skills they need to help prepare them for their future learning, including their eventual move onto school'

Following our Ofsted inspection in January 2023, we are really pleased to announce we have received an overall Good rating at Wren Day Nursery

Quality Care, Budget-Friendly: A Parent's Trusted Choice

Affordable Childcare Childcare

As parents/carers you may be able to order childcare vouchers from your employers as part of your salary. By choosing to receive a proportion of your salary in childcare vouchers, you could save as much as £2,134.00 pa on the cost of your childcare. This is because childcare vouchers are non-taxable and exempt from National Insurance Contributions, up to a limit of £243.00 per parent/carer per month. Ask your employer which voucher scheme they use; it may be Busy Bees, Accor, Parent Bond, Care 4 or their own scheme.

Let us know at Wren who you will be using, and we can give you their telephone number and our Nursery ID. Once they are set up they are easy to use and very popular.

You may wish to alternatively set up your Tax Free Childcare account; Tax-Free Childcare is an online government service for parents to make payments to their childcare providers. For every £8 a parent pays into their Childcare account, they'll add an extra £2 to your Childcare Account.

Parents can then use that money to make childcare payments direct to their childcare provider's bank account.
