About this day nursery
The Village Pre-School and Kids Club offers a comprehensive childcare solution for families in Lincoln, LN6 5UZ, operating from a dedicated entrance adjacent to the church gate. The pre-school nursery runs daily, and the Kids Club provides breakfast and after-school care, as well as holiday clubs.
Although independently managed, the pre-school maintains strong ties with Saint Lawrence Church of England Primary School, allowing young children to regularly use school facilities and become familiar with the environment, which is highly beneficial for their transition into Reception class. The Kids Club staff ensure a seamless experience for children, escorting them to and from their classrooms.
This integrated approach fosters a sense of belonging and prepares children for future schooling within a familiar setting.
