Little Paxton Pre School

About this day nursery

Little Paxton Pre School, established in 2009, operates as a childcare setting on non-domestic premises, offering a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for children aged 2 to 4 years. 55pm during term time, the pre-school fosters good relationships between staff, children, and families, ensuring children feel safe and secure.

The highly positive and supportive engagement from staff encourages children to independently choose resources for their play. The pre-school places a strong emphasis on developing early literacy skills; older children confidently write their names, while younger ones build vocabulary through stories and rhymes, becoming confident communicators.

Staff actively promote a love of books by reading to children in quiet areas, using questioning to deepen their understanding. Little Paxton Pre School provides a nurturing space that caters to individual care and learning needs.

Staff work collaboratively with various professionals to offer specialised support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and their parents. Parents have shared that the pre-school feels like a "little community" and appreciate how it supports their child's learning at home.

Leaders and staff are committed to continuous improvement, regularly enriching children's experiences with activities like visits from a lending library and a zoo at the pre-school. The setting also focuses on preparing children for school through transition sessions with local schools and broadening their experiences with parent visits sharing their occupations.

Children are encouraged to develop independence, learning self-care needs, hygiene routines, and healthy habits for life.
