About this day nursery
Treetops Preschool, conveniently situated within Burnham-on-Crouch Primary School in Essex, provides a nurturing environment for young children.

They offer a range of sessions tailored for both two-year-olds and three-to-four-year-olds, including full-day, morning, and afternoon options, alongside breakfast and lunch clubs. Treetops Preschool is committed to making early education accessible by accepting various government funding initiatives, such as the 30-hour funding and the 2-year-old funding, requiring parents to keep their codes current for each term.
