About this day nursery

The Beeches Pre School, established in 2016, offers a warm and welcoming term-time childcare setting in Leigh, for children aged 2 to 4 years. 30pm, the pre-school received a Good rating in its latest Ofsted inspection on 16th July 2024.

Staff are dedicated to creating an environment where children feel a strong sense of belonging, fostering happiness, confidence, and positive attitudes towards learning. The curriculum incorporates a variety of engaging activities, both indoors and outdoors, designed to encourage exploration and introduce new vocabulary.

Staff act as positive role models, promoting sharing, turn-taking, and collaborative play, which contributes to exceptionally well-behaved children. The pre-school places a strong emphasis on developing a love of reading in children by bringing books to life with engaging voices and actions.

Parents are encouraged to be involved, with invitations to spend time in the playrooms to help their children settle, and daily updates on their child's care and learning. Effective care routines support children in developing good hygiene practices and attending to their physical needs, while special events and cultural festivals help children learn about the world around them.
