Welcome to Pirton Pre-School

Fun, laughter and learning

Our vision and aims

We aim to provide a safe, happy and exciting environment where each child feels valued and they are given the opportunity to reach their full potential with close support from our friendly dedicated team of staff.

Our aim is to prepare your child for full-time education at Primary School and to encourage their independence away from the home environment. We take a heuristic approach to support your child’s learning and development in all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

In accordance with the national Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum for Pre-School children, our goals are to:

  • Enhance the development and education of the children under statutory school age in a parent-involving, community-based group
  • Provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment
  • Work within a framework, which ensures equality of opportunity for all children and families
  • To work with parents in helping their child to learn and develop
  • To give parents the opportunity to help shape the service Pre-School offers

Our History

Pirton Pre-School has been in existence since 1973 (formerly as Pirton Playgroup). The Pre-School plays a very important role in the village community and we are all very proud of how it has grown and developed over the years.

In February 2011 we formally moved from the Village Hall into a fabulous bright and airy purpose-built unit. The Pre-School is now situated in the grounds of the village school. We enjoy a very close and supportive relationship with the school and this has given us lots of opportunities to work together and celebrate our good practice.

We now look forward to the future and how we can continue to offer future generations of children meaningful exciting experiences that they can cherish for years to come.
