About this early years setting

Butterwick Pre-School is a term-time setting in Boston, Lincolnshire, registered for children from two to seven years old. It operates from Monday to Friday, 8am until 4.30pm, and accepts 15 hours of universal funding for three and four-year-olds. The most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2023 resulted in an overall judgement of Good.

Inspectors reported that staff encourage children to develop a 'can-do' attitude and persevere. Children are taught how to keep themselves safe, for instance when using equipment like scissors. Staff provide sensory experiences, such as walking in flour, to help children in the toddler room develop their descriptive vocabulary. The manager uses additional funding to broaden experiences for some children, which may include trips to watch Christmas pantomimes. The pre-school also helps children develop strong relationships with the host school.

What it's like

I took my two year old in the middle of the pandemic I couldn’t settle him in myself due to restrictions and was really apprehensive about dropping him off with total strangers the team there are amazing and soon had my child settled in they are very caring and understand each child’s individual needs and care for each child as if they were there own . I love the updates they send daily and seeing their adventures my son has settled really well and loves being there . I wouldn’t take him anywhere else
