Our Mission Statement

At Leahurst Road Pre-school, we believe children learn at their best when they feel happy, secure and confident, and that’s why supporting children’s personal, social and emotional development is of paramount importance to us. We make certain that every child is made to feel welcome and “will feel valued and cared for”.

We have an experienced, dedicated staff team who ensure a high quality of care and education is delivered for the children in our care. We have high ambition for our children and believe every child is strong, resilient, and capable who is constantly learning.  We aim to support and encourage each child to reach their full potential in all aspects of their development.

We believe the environment is the children’s third educator. Planning and providing a rich, stimulating and exciting environment which enables imaginative play, creativity and critical thinking is a pillar of our practice. We plan fun and engaging activities to provide learning opportunities across all the 7 areas of Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.

We recognise that parents are the children’s first educators, and value the importance of working in partnership with parents to achieve the best outcome for the children, therefore we work very closely with parents to support children’s learning and development.

We believe when the fundamental aspects of teaching and learning are correctly in place, this will lead to a long-life passion and desire for learning.

Our Ambition

Our goal is to ensure that every child who attends Leahurst Road Pre-School leaves the setting and begins their formal school years as a happy, confident and independent person, with a creative mind and passion for learning.  In doing this you can be confident knowing that we have done our best to ensure your child is able to form good relationships with other children, demonstrate self-control, a sense of community and an aptitude for communication and thinking. We recognise in early years activities must be fun and exciting to be most effective, and this is central to our core practice, ensuring that all the children will have had lots of fun during their time with us!
