Strong School Links
Based at Arden Grove Infant and Nursery School, children socialise with nursery and reception children.
Learning Through Play
At Arden Grove Pre-School, we believe children learn best when they are happy, secure and interested in what they are doing.
Our child-centred approach gives children the freedom to make choices, follow their interests and develop their own ideas. Our team are there to support, encourage and extend learning through meaningful experiences and play.
Children First
Children’s wellbeing, interests and ideas are at the heart of everything we do.
Learning Through Play
Children learn through hands-on play, exploration and meaningful experiences.
Explore & Grow
We encourage curiosity, confidence and independence both indoors and outdoors.
Space to Explore Inside and Out
Our bright, airy classroom and large outdoor play area give children space to explore, be active, get creative and learn through play. Children have free-flow access to the outdoors, encouraging curiosity, independence and a love of learning.
Growing in Confidence and Independence
We want every child to feel happy, confident and proud of what they can achieve.
Throughout their time at Arden Grove Pre-School, children are encouraged to make choices, try new things, share their ideas and develop skills for themselves.
We celebrate children’s achievements and support them as they become increasingly confident and independent learners.
Preparing for School
As children approach their next step, we help them develop the confidence, independence, communication and social skills they need for school.
Being based within Arden Grove Infant and Nursery School gives children opportunities to become familiar with the school environment and socialise with nursery and reception children.
We want children to leave us feeling confident, capable and excited about their next adventure.
