About this day nursery

Mayfield Preschool, serving its community since 1985, offers a nurturing environment for children aged two and older. Located in a countryside setting, the preschool prioritises a fun and stimulating start to early years education, aiming to foster positive attitudes for lifelong learning.

The dedicated team focuses on individualised experiences for each child, ensuring their well-being is paramount while adhering to the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework. The facilities boast beautiful surroundings, including a large garden, soft surface play areas, a sensory garden, and a mud kitchen, all complemented by an extension added in 2016 to enhance both indoor and outdoor learning opportunities.

The preschool operates during term time, Monday to Friday, from 8:45 AM to 3:00 PM, and accommodates funded children for up to 15 hours or more per week. They encourage prospective families to visit their setting to experience their unique approach firsthand.

What it's like

Children are extremely confident in their surroundings. Staff are highly sensitive to children's unique needs and give them the time they need to settle into the pre-school. This has a significant impact on children's sense of belonging and the bonds they make with their key-person.

Pricing & funding

Fees are structured around restricted funded sessions with additional charges for late collections. A voluntary sessional welfare charge is requested to cover mid-session snacks and non-EYFS activities, though parents can opt out by providing their own snack.
