Welcome to the Herstmonceux Pre-School Website.
Our aim at the Pre School is to provide
care and education in partnership with parents for all children
from 2 years of age who live in the local area.
At Herstmonceux Pre School we believe children will learn by
having fun through activities and play under the guidance of
fully trained Early Years staff.
We actively encourage good links with home and feel that you the
parents/carers are the child’s first and main educators
throughout their lives.
Home visits are arranged prior to your child starting; these are
an excellent way to ‘get to know‘ you and your child and help us
to plan ahead any resources that will support their emotional
and educational needs when they start pre school.
Through written and verbal communication, we aim to provide a
comprehensive account of your child’s development during their
time with us.
We offer and maintain a high standard of pre-school education
working from Birth to Three Matters to the Early Learning Goals
in the Foundation Stage, set by the Qualification and Curriculum
Authority.
The term Birth to Three Matters is literally just as it reads, a
curriculum that concentrates on supporting children from birth
to three years of age.
