THE WOODLANDS PRE-SCHOOL

Established since 1968, The Woodlands Pre-School (formerly Clifton Pre-School ) is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance. It is registered with Ofsted and was inspected in October 2008 and judged to be 'outstanding' in all 14 areas of judgement. Children are supported in developing their potential at their own pace while our keyworker system enables us to ensure a planned curriculum tailored to the needs of each individual child. Most importantly though children are encouraged to learn through play which is varied, interactive and fun and helps them to develop confidence and a positive attitude and make friends which they will continue with through Lower School.

Our keyperson system means that each member of staff has particular responsibility for your child, and is responsible for their Individual Learning Plan. The keyperson will maintain regular links with the child's home setting, work with their parents and provide regular feedback. We encourage parents and carers to become involved and have a voluntary rota system for helping at Pre-School. Not only do the children love to have you there, but it also provides you with an opportunity to see what happens during the sessions.

We accept children from 2 years 6 months subject to places being available. Children do not have to be 'dry' when they start. If your child is 3 years old, it is likely that they will qualify for up to 5 FREE sessions per week from the term after they turn three (more information can be found on the DirectGov website - the details of which can be found in our Links).
