Indoor and Outdoor Facilities: Children have room and space to play and explore.
Philosophy: The manager and staff have a vision for the pre-school and high expectations of what they want the children to learn.
Forest School Sessions: Children have opportunities to visit the forest school, where they learn to build with natural resources, develop team building skills as they work together to make dens.
Activities: The activities and resources on offer are adapted to suit the children in attendance.
Skills , Knowledge and Behavior: Staff challenge the children, encouraging them to learn to self-regulate, manage their emotions, discuss their feelings and resolve their own conflicts.
Communication: The pre-school works closely with parents, informing them of what the children are learning, so this can be continued at home.

From the Heather Pre-School
We are aware that parents serve as their children's primary teachers. We take great satisfaction in developing strong relationships with all parents and caregivers because we know that doing so will assist the child's growth both academically and emotionally. Each child is assigned a Key Person to support them with their specific needs, get settled in and feel secure at preschool, and develop healthy relationships with the Key Person, the child, and their parents or caregivers. As part of our snack time routine, all kids are also entitled to complimentary milk and fresh fruit or vegetables. For 3 and 4 year olds, we are eligible for free early education up to 15 hours per week. 3.70 per hour is charged for hours over 15. In addition, if certain requirements are completed, we are eligible for Free Early Educational Entitlement for 2-year-olds for a maximum of 15 hours. The cost for a 2-year-old is 11.50 per session in all other circumstances. We accept a variety of childcare vouchers, including those from Kidsunlimited, Computershare, and KiddiVouchers. Please find out whether your business has any alternative plans.
