“The preschool is set in beautiful surroundings. Staff are knowledgeable and caring and from the

very outset I had absolute confidence in their ability not only to care for my child, but to promote my

child’s development and wellbeing in every aspect.”

Leanne - Evie's mum

Our Vision

 

At Aspley Guise Pre-School we are committed to creating a nurturing and caring environment where children feel safe and secure, allowing them to flourish. 

As a semi-rural setting, we have a strong focus on outdoor learning with daily in-out play and use of our Forest School.

With years of experience as childcare professionals, we know how fundamentally important the early years experience is for a child.  With this is mind, we are passionate about fostering a child centred approach and using our knowledge of individual children's interests and stages of development to implement in the moment planning. 

In our 2024 report, Ofsted stated that, 'staff encourage children's positive attitudes to learning.  They ensure that the learning environment is well prepared with a good range of activities that match children's interests.'

From this solid foundation we then help children to build their confidence by experimenting through play, encouraging them to engage with their surroundings and peers.  

 

We believe that by building on these positive beginnings, children are given the opportunity to fully explore their potential and take those first, fundamentally important, educational steps.
