Overview
The Buttercross Pre-school opened its doors over 40 years ago and in this time has grown from strength to strength to become a well established setting with an excellent reputation. The Pre-school is located in a residential area close to the centre of the village/town of Bingham, operating from within The Robert Miles Infant School, School Lane, Bingham.
Through our excellent team of experienced staff, our aim is to provide a safe, caring, happy and stimulating environment for all children placed in our care. We care for children from a range of economic and cultural backgrounds from Bingham aswell as surrounding villages. We support children who have special educational needs and English as an additional language.
We operate term time only and offer a mixture of full day or sessional care
