Little Jesters Pre-School

About this day nursery

Little Jesters Pre-School, located in Market Rasen, offers high-quality early years care and education for children aged 2 to 5 years. Operating for 38 weeks a year during term time, the pre-school provides a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive at their own pace.

As a registered charity run by a voluntary committee of staff, parents, and community members, Little Jesters is committed to fostering confidence, strong moral values, and natural curiosity through imaginative play, creative exploration, and social interaction. The purpose-built preschool room is designed with child-friendly amenities, and a fully enclosed outdoor play area allows for free-flow play regardless of weather.

The curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, ensuring a high standard of learning and development. The pre-school emphasises individualised support, positive relationships, enabling environments, and a play-based approach to learning, with a focus on preparing children for their transition to primary school.

Little Jesters also maintains strong ties with Faldingworth Community Primary School, allowing children to participate in wider school events and integrate into the larger community.

Children are happy to see staff and settle quickly into play in a well-thought-out environment. They are polite, use good manners, and work with staff to solve problems and build self-esteem.
