Little Lambs Pre-school has been operating in Good Shepherd church hall since January 1998, during this time we have achieved the Ofsted'  "Outstanding" grade  on the last four inspections.  Our most recent inspection was on 24th June 2022. See report here:  https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50190331   

We use the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework as guidance and work in partnership with parents to achieve the best early start for every child.  All staff are qualified and highly experienced in working with children aged 2-5 years old and are assigned as a keyperson when they join us.  

Children learn best through play, with this in mind, the keyperson will plan for children's individual developmental needs, interests and preferred learning style.  Each term, keypersons share the child's progress and discuss future plans witht he parents.  

We make use of our garden daily.  We also have an indoor space where children can dance, play ring games, practice yoga and make use of bikes and scooters.

Children and staff eat lunch together, parents are required to bring a healthy packed lunch (we are a 'Sugar Smart' setting therefore are trying to reduce the sugar intake in children's diet).

Working Parents Entitlement are fully funded and do not pay any additional costs or top up fees.

Monday - Thursday 8.30-4pm is fully funded for 3-4 year olds

15 hours over 2 full days or 3 extended mornings - 8.30-1.30pm for eligible two years old.
