Little Fishes Pre-School

At Little Fishes Pre-School we aim to provide a safe play and learning environment for all children (irrespective of gender, race or religion) within the context of a caring Christian community.  We provide sessional day care for 26 children between the ages of 2 and 5 years.  The Pre-School is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9.30am to 12.15pm, children must attend all three sessions.

Little Fishes Pre-School is registered as a provider of services with Essex County Council and qualifies for Government funding for eligible children – currently 3 and 4 year olds. Funding is not given until the term after the child’s 3rd birthday.  There are 3 terms: Autumn: September to Christmas; Spring: January to Easter and Summer: April to July. Fees for children who do not qualify for funding are £10 per session.

We base our curriculum on The Early Years Foundation Stage published by the Department for Education. We are inspected by Ofsted and at our latest inspection in January 2008, we received a good rating. Read the excellent Ofsted report on the Ofsted website. The Pre-School is also a member of The Pre-School Learning Alliance.

You can read more about the session structure and the activities that are organised for the children in the Parent/Carer Handbook.
