Parkview Lodge Preschool
About this early years setting
Parkview Lodge Pre-School, located in London W2 5TL, has been a vital part of the local community since 1998, when it transformed a derelict building into its current premises thanks to a national lottery grant. The pre-school operates as a committee-run charity, dedicated to enhancing children's learning experiences through various resources.
Led by Manager Carole Lewis, who holds a Level 4 qualification in Early Years and has been with the pre-school since its inception, the team also includes Deputy Manager Lorraine Alloway, a Level 3 qualified early years professional, also with the pre-school since 1998. The pre-school actively engages in fundraising efforts to acquire new equipment, toys, and educational materials.
They encourage community support through initiatives like AmazonSmile, where a percentage of eligible purchases can be donated to the pre-school at no extra cost to the shopper. Parkview Lodge Pre-School is committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment for young children, focusing on continuous improvement through community involvement and dedicated staff.

Inclusion & environment
How they support every child
The manager and staff team deliver a thoughtful, targeted curriculum to all children, including those children with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
Children have free-flow access to the outside space at all times. They enjoy climbing on the large play equipment and using footballs and wheeled vehicles, which supports their large-muscle skills. However, the garden is mainly focused on entertainment and does not link firmly enough to the curriculum.
