We have a very close relationship with our pre-school, Caterpillars, which is located within the grounds of the primary school so almost all the children starting in Reception will be very familiar with the school already.
The pre-school is located in a purpose-built building and the children there share our outdoor spaces, including the playing field and Forest School.
There is a robust transition process, which is discussed with parents in the summer term ahead of school entry in September. All children joining the school in Reception are invited to taster sessions in the Reception classroom so that they meet the staff who will be caring for them. The school encourages parents and other professionals to share information about each child’s needs and interests.
Jeavons Wood pre-school is open from 8:45am-2:45pm during term-time and offer 15 hours of funded childcare for 3 and 4-year-olds and, subject to availability, an additional 15 hours of funding for eligible families.
