About this day nursery

Blagdon Under Fives Pre-School, nestled in the heart of the Blagdon community, has been a well-established childcare provider for over thirty years. Situated within the grounds of Blagdon Primary School, it offers a nurturing environment for children aged 2 to 5 years.

The pre-school's philosophy revolves around recognising each child's individuality, fostering a sense of security and happiness that encourages free exploration and discovery through curiosity, creativity, and play. The dedicated staff, with their extensive experience, strive to create a stimulating setting that facilitates children's natural development.

They follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, emphasising play-based learning across all seven areas, including communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, expressive art and design, and understanding the world. By forging strong relationships with children and their families, Blagdon Pre-School aims to build confident communicators and independent learners, preparing them for a smooth transition to primary school and equipping them with lifelong learning traits.
