The provision is Ofsted-inspected and is registered to care for a total of 50 children. At our most recent inspection, in March 2011, we were delighted to be rated OUTSTANDING.  Click here to download a copy of the inspector's report.

The Hall is accessible by ramps and wide-opening doors and has a disabled toilet.

Within the Memorial Hall the Pre-school operates two rooms - the Red Room and the Blue Room.  Initially children start in the Red Room for 3-5 days, the term in which they are three years old.  Depending on their birthday, at age 3½ or two terms before they go to school they move into the Extended Hours session in the Blue Room.  They normally attend for two days in the Blue Room and the remainder in the Red Room.

In both the Red and Blue Rooms we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, the aim of which is to help every child achieve the five Every Child Matters outcomes of staying safe, being healthy, enjoying and achieving, making a positive contribution and achieving economic well-being.  The six areas of learning are:

• Personal, social and emotional development
• Communication, language and literacy
• Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy
• Knowledge and understanding of the world
• Physical development
• Creative development

We achieve these aims by providing a caring environment where children can learn to interact with other children and adults on what might be their first venture away from home.  Stimulating play activities help them learn to make friends, take turns, share and negotiate, enabling them to develop their full potential.  We have a wide range of equipment with which to extend your child's knowledge, experience and cultural awareness.  We feel that when children are relaxed, safe, valued and having fun it builds their confidence and develops independence, making them happier to learn and, of course, paving the way for their move to school.

The Blue Room session is an opportunity for all the older children to be together in preparation for starting school.   Activities are extended, extra-curricular walks and trips are offered.  The children bring a P.E. kit to get them used to changing their clothes by themselves and to encourage self-reliance skills.  The snack bar is less supervised than the Red Room, so encouraging children to be more independent.  The children progress to form secure relationships with their peers and enjoy the social aspect of staying to lunch.  After lunch, activities are planned for the children to participate in small groups.
