Collingham & District Pre-school

Children bring their own packed lunch if they access a full day. We provide a healthy snack such as crackers or toast and a variety of fruits and vegetables, with milk or water to drink. We collect information from parents and carers about children's allergies, and needs and then provide accordingly.

No child is excluded, one-to-one support if needed. Experienced and qualified staff who have worked, over the years, with children with varying special needs.
We are a very friendly setting who seek to support families in whatever way we can. We do this mainly by providing a 'home-from-home' environment, where children can develop to their best potential, whether they have additional needs or not. We seek to develop strong links with parents and families as we believe this provides the best support to help our children thrive. We use the Tapestry learning journal to share information and observations with parents as well as making the most of face to face interactions at the start and end of the day.

A visit with parents is provided before the child starts with us and our team has vast experience supporting children to settle and transition from parents to our setting.

We have particular experience of one to one support, especially in communication, language and social skills. Staff have also worked with children with varying levels of ASD and behavioural issues. Our team have some experience of supporting children with Downs Syndrome, Global Delay and particular medical needs such as epilepsy, hearing loss and food allergies.
