About this day nursery

Long Itchington Pre-School and Out of School Club offers a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children. Situated within the grounds of Long Itchington Primary School, this setup provides numerous advantages, including access to excellent indoor and outdoor facilities and a seamless transition for children moving from pre-school to primary school.

The pre-school caters to children aged two years nine months to five years, focusing on high-quality care and education with a favourable adult-to-child ratio. For older children, the Out of School Club offers high-quality wrap-around care, ensuring children are well looked after before and after school in a safe and engaging setting.

The organisation operates as a not-for-profit entity, managed by a dedicated voluntary committee comprising parents and staff. This committee plays a crucial role in fundraising and organising social events to acquire new equipment for the setting.

Parents are encouraged to participate in the Annual General Meeting or express interest in volunteering at any time. The club is a member of both the Out of School Alliance and the Early Years Alliance, demonstrating its commitment to quality childcare.

Key personnel include Claire Hopkins, the Pre School and Out of School Club Manager, and Aisha Bartlett, the Deputy Manager, supported by a team of Early Years Educators. The Board of Trustees, including Alexandra Feasey as Secretary, Emma Lenihan as Treasurer, and Becci Pell as Chair, oversees the finances, staffing, and policy implementation to ensure a high standard of service and strong parent partnership.
