Are you looking for a place in which your child can learn through play, make new friends and experience a hands-on approach to learning with caring, qualified staff? If so look no further. We provide a stimulating learning environment in which each child can grow and experience activities through play, as laid out in the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.

Our organisation provides high quality care for children aged 2 to 4. We have a free flowing indoor outdoor play area.  Children have the opportunity to discover more about the wider world through hands on learning in and around the community. The Pre-school has excellent links with The Bliss Charity School. We spend time in the school’s outdoor classroom, hunting for bugs, playing games and exploring the natural environment.

If you want to find out more about us, please contact us on 07984055828. We have an excellent website. Take a look at what we can offer you and your family. Contact us at http://netherheyfordpreschool.co.uk/.

During December, all the children took part in our Christmas play, “Our First Nativity” This was a magical moment for the children, staff and parents. The play was a delightful spectacle which was enjoyed by everyone, young and old alike.  During the play, we held a raffle and teas and coffees were served. We made a grand total of over £200.00.

As we are a non profit organisation, fundraising is an integral part of providing new resources for the children. Do you own a company locally?   Would you be interested in supporting us in helping us raise money for our group? If you can help us in any way, we would love to hear from you!

We would like to welcome new families and children to our setting this term, Poppy Starkey, James Linford and Lily Davis. We hope that you and your child enjoy their new learning experience. If you have any questions about what your child is learning, please speak to your child’s keyworker or the setting manager.

During the next few months, the Pre-school will be holding a wide variety of events including an open day. Come along, meet the staff and the committee; see what we can offer you and your family.

The rising five children will be going to “Forest School” in the spring term, to learn about boundaries, safety, exploration, fire and cooking. Forest School is an excellent learning opportunity for the children to learn new skills, especially team building, following instructions and using a wide variety of new equipment safely.

Please look around the locality for more about us and future up and coming events.

Our opening hours are Monday, Thursday, Friday 9-3; Tuesday, Wednesday 9-1. Our setting takes childcare vouchers such as Accor and Kiddicare.  It is easy to register for other voucher schemes; just let us know which one you use.  Children over three are entitled to 15 hours government funding, starting after the term they are three.

Best wishes to all for 2011 from the staff, committee and children of Nether Heyford Pre-school.
