Finches Preschool

About this day nursery

Finches Pre-school provides a nurturing and engaging environment in Wokingham, focusing on a play-based philosophy where children learn best when they are happy and confident. The pre-school aims to help each child feel settled and a part of the 'Finches family', fostering their confidence, sense of belonging, and self-image.

Following their motto, 'We have fun', the pre-school offers opportunities for learning in a supportive and playful setting. They closely follow the guidance from Ofsted and the Early Years Foundation Stage for planning, observing, and recording children's progress, utilising an online learning resource called Tapestry to share updates with parents and carers.

Recognising that pre-school can be a child's first experience of care outside the home, Finches assigns a key person to each child to ensure they feel loved, welcome, and secure. They operate during term time and accept children from two years old, offering funded spaces as well as paid sessions.

The pre-school also provides a lunch club option and encourages outdoor activities within their extensive grounds, including woodland, a park, and a large field. They also stage twice-yearly productions and host a Sports Day/Summer lunch for families.
