Take a look around

We are very proud of our small and friendly pre-school and we can't wait to share it with you!

We have a spacious indoor area that we use for free play, eating, singing songs and story time. We also have a large well-equipped outdoor play area, with climbing structures, mud kitchen, ride-on vehicles and an enormous sandpit.

Take a quick look around using the virtual tour, and please do come and see it in person.

Our approach
A happy, safe and caring environment

Mother Goose Pre-School provides a happy, safe and caring environment in which we can offer a variety of stimulating and meaningful activities to support and encourage the children in all areas of their development. The children are constantly learning through play, discovery, communication and being active and creative.

Daily routine and curriculum
What happens each day?

We offer a broad range of both child and adult-led activities that are fun and engaging, whilst at the same time create learning opportunities that help to develop self-confidence, independence and imagination. Sessions are planned around a weekly topic, which is chosen to spark the children's imagination.

Rising fives
Get ready for school!

We offer weekly "Rising Fives" sessions in the summer term for children who will be moving on to school. These optional sessions are specially crafted to support your child's learning and prepare them for the kinds of activities and routines they will encounter when they start primary school.
