Working together for your children

We are a parent run Pre-School group working in close conjunction with Stoke Goldington First School. It is a happy, family-oriented group with a strong play emphasis. We are affiliated to the Pre-School Learning Alliance and as a registered early years’ provider we receive the Nursery Education Grant from our local authority for 3 & 4 year olds. Stoke Goldington Pre-School is inspected regularly by OFSTED and our latest reports are available on request. See page 11 for further information.

To prepare the children for compulsory education following the principles for early years education.
To ensure individual attention to benefit each child.
To develop confidence and social skills through group activities.
To provide an effective curriculum that makes learning exciting and fun.
