Child Care Provision for Three Year Olds
Working in partnership with Love Lane Pre-School we can offer child care provision for three year olds in a school setting from 8:00am to 6:00pm, five days a week. This not only gives you affordable child care but also an excellent start to your child's early years education. If you do not qualify for government funding we can provide this provision for £5.50 per hour. For further information please see our Child Care Provision page or contact the school office on 01635 40971.
Foundation Stage
The foundation stage curriculum concentrates on the skills and experiences children need to provide a solid base for later learning . All 'settings' follow the same curriculum which is rooted in activity and experiences. It is organised into areas of learning rather than traditional subjects. More information about the curriculum is available from school. We have a designated number of 14 children in each year group so the children get plenty of attention.
Other Admissions
If you are moving into the area, please contact us by telephone to enquire if we have space in your child's year group. Parents are welcome to visit by appointment with or without their child before making an application for admission. The application process is through West Berkshire Council.
