Little Rascals Preschool
Little Rascals was established in 2005 and moved to Whybridge Infant School in 2006.
We operate in 2 portacabins with access to free flow play to our large outdoor garden area, where children can further develop their learning in a safe stimulating environment.
we do not have disability access to the pre school as the doorways are not wide enough to allow a wheelchair through.
Staff hold level 2-3 childcare qualifications and the owners/managers hold a level 4 in early years practice.
We are a friendly and approachable team who work very hard to make your child’s experience a positive one.
We also work closely with other professionals to help your child reach their full potential, while supporting our families when needed. We have experience in accessing outside agencies including speech and language therapists, Area Special Education needs coordinators and educational psychologists etc.
We have a good relationship with Whybridge and other neighbouring schools to ensure a smooth transition for your child to reception year. We have an excellent relationship with our parents and carers and work closely to ensure their children are supported continuously throughout their time at Little Rascals Pre School.
