About this early years setting

Netley Abbey Pre-school, located between Netley Abbey Infant and Junior School in Southampton, offers sessional day care for children aged 2, 3, and 4 years old. The preschool is privately run and follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which sets standards for learning, development, and care for children up to 5 years old.

This framework provides common principles for professionals and assures parents of quality early education. The preschool operates Monday to Thursday with morning and afternoon sessions, with full days also available.

Children staying for lunch will need to bring a healthy packed lunch, as well as a healthy snack and a named water bottle for each session. Admissions are based on a policy that considers date of birth order, local residency, and whether a sibling has previously attended.

Prospective parents are encouraged to visit the preschool. The facility has availability for all age groups from September 2026.

The preschool emphasises a structured yet flexible approach to early years education, supporting children's development within a framework designed to provide a comprehensive and enriching experience, ensuring that every child receives attentive care and a solid foundation for their future learning journey. Their commitment to the EYFS framework underscores their dedication to high standards in early childhood education and care.

Inclusion & environment

How they support every child

SEND provision

All children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are making progress from their starting points. The special educational needs coordinator (SENCo) has attended training to update their knowledge. They work effectively with other agencies. This helps to ensure children receive the support they need swiftly.

Outdoor space

Children develop their physical skills as staff plan a wide range of activities to encourage them to be active. For example, they strengthen their large-muscle skills as they kick the balls outside. Children shout 'goal' as they expertly aim the balls into the nets.
