About this day nursery

Bassingham Pre-School, known as Tree Tops, is an established early years setting registered with Ofsted for 27 children per session. Located within Bassingham Primary School, it provides a happy, safe, and stimulating environment where children can learn and develop through play.

The pre-school follows the Early Years Foundation Curriculum, focusing on well-planned and structured play activities that cater to each child's individual skills and abilities. This approach ensures that every child receives personalised attention and support, fostering their growth and understanding of themselves, others, and the world around them.

" Additionally, Tree Tops offers a Breakfast Club from 8:00 am to 8:50 am and an After School Club from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm during term times for children aged 3 to 11 years, providing a light breakfast and a variety of fun and exciting activities suitable for all age groups.

Our ethos

The main aim of our pre-school is to provide a happy, safe and stimulating environment to enable children to learn about themselves, other people and the world around them, through play. We follow the Early Years Foundation Curriculum and strongly believe that children of pre-school age learn through well planned and structured play activities. We recognise that every child is different, with varying skills and abilities. Therefore, we treat each child as an individual and work in partnership with parents to ensure we meet each child’s needs effectively.
