The pre-school operates 50 weeks a year, from 8 am to 6 pm daily, Monday to Friday. Their approach is centred on child-led play, where children's innate curiosity guides their learning journey. They emphasise experiential learning, encouraging children to explore their world and develop confidence, individuality, and resilience. The pre-school aims to create a stimulating and enriching environment, preparing children to be enthusiastic learners as they transition to school. They collaborate closely with parents, valuing their partnership in each child's development. Furthermore, Hadleigh Parkside Pre-school is committed to the well-being of its children, parents, and staff, with a dedicated well-being lead and mindfulness activities integrated into the daily routine. They also promote healthy lifestyles through nutrition and exercise. The pre-school actively contributes to the local community's well-being and is dedicated to offering a service that respects diversity and promotes equality. Our ethos We believe that children learn best through their play. Education starts with the needs and interests of the child, allowing them to plan their course of study and it relies heavily on experimental learning. Promoting curiosity about the world and being truly in the moment with their environment allows children to notice the small details. This way at looking at things gives children a love of learning and gives the tools to flourish and be their best selves. Like John Dewey, an educational theorist, stated we believe: "Education is not about preparing a child for life, education is life itself" What it's like Children confidently make choices from a broad range of interesting activities and resources. They show that they feel motivated to learn as they enthusiastically access the different spaces and activities on offer. Children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are provided with highly attentive support to meet their complex needs. Child-led play curriculum Open 50 weeks a year Focus on well-being and mindfulness Community-focused ## Pricing & funding The nursery charges an hourly rate differentiated by age bands for children under three.
