St Thomas More Pre-School

About this day nursery

St Thomas More Pre-School delivers a nurturing and stimulating setting where children benefit from a play-based learning approach, carefully designed to foster their literacy, numeracy, and independence. The preschool offers a homely atmosphere with small, personalised key family groups, ensuring each child feels secure, happy, and valued.

Activities are aligned with the Early Years Foundation Curriculum, delivered by a caring and qualified team. The preschool continuously monitors each child's progress, tailoring activities to help them reach their full potential, and records this journey on an online learning journal called Tapestry.

Parental involvement is highly encouraged, fostering confidence for the children's transition to school and beyond. The preschool also provides unique experiences such as allotment and forest school activities.

Our ethos

We believe that children should learn through play, and they will be involved in adult or child led activities that will develop their literacy, numeracy and independence. We make every child feel safe, secure, happy and valued, as we believe that fosters their confidence for life outside of, and beyond, preschool.

What it's like

Children happily arrive at the pre-school and build strong relationships with their key person, which helps them to settle quickly and engage in purposeful learning experiences. They develop good communication and language skills, demonstrating great imaginations. Children also develop warm and caring friendships with others, learning to share resources and understanding the impact of their actions on others.

Pricing & funding

Charges are structured around individual morning, lunch, and afternoon sessions, with additional wrap-around breakfast and twilight clubs. Funded hours are offered during mid-day sessions, subject to a daily or half-daily additional service contribution. Hot lunches are available for an extra daily charge.
