Little Poppets Pre-School

We believe that children learn and are nurtured through play in a safe, secure and happy environment, which we provide here at Little Poppets. We welcome all children regardless of their cultural background, nationality or any disabilities they may have.

We are based in a large hall which includes an outside area with soft play installed allowing children to enjoy physical play whatever the weather. Our pre-school has a secure fence surrounding it and security is paramount to us. We are able to provide 2,3 and 4 year old funded spaces. We also accommodate 15 and 30 hours funding.

Children are provided with a healthy snack at a charge of £1.00 a day and 50p a day for consumables, such as nappies, wet wipes, hand towles. This also goes towards our end of term parties to cover the costs of an entertainer, party food, Father Christmas. Or you can bring in your own child’s healthy snack if preferred. 
We offer PE Lessons for an hour on a Tuesday where a qualified PE Instructor comes into the setting. If you wish your child to take part in this lesson there is a cost of £5 a term.
