About this day nursery

Walkington Pre-School is a charity-run establishment in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire, committed to providing a nurturing environment where children are valued for their unique qualities. Operating from the pavilion adjacent to the playing fields, the pre-school maintains a high staff-to-child ratio, ensuring each child receives individual attention to support their development.

The dedicated and experienced team works closely with parents and carers, with each child assigned a key person to foster a sense of security and care. The pre-school encourages parental involvement, with an elected committee of volunteer parents overseeing key decisions, finances, and staff management, ensuring the setting remains community-focused.

They also welcome fundraising support due to government funding not fully covering operational costs. The nursery prides itself on its strong community ties and emphasises ongoing staff training in areas such as paediatric first aid and safeguarding.

An incredible preschool both of my children have attended. The staff are so kind and nurturing. Both of my children have become ‘school ready’ and loved their time at Walkington.
