Preschool

“We’ve had children at Sunshine for over 6.5 years. We love Sunshine and couldn’t rate it highly enough. The staff are so caring and considerate - you feel so safe knowing your children are in their hands. The kids love it too. They are stimulated and challenged every day. We really do regard Sunshine as an extension of our family” (Tom, Dad)

Children join our Preschool when they are ready but at roughly three years old and stay here until they start school. Based in the lovely old building our preschoolers have a series of exciting spaces to explore in the classroom. Preschool comprises of one big room for role play and loose parts play, practical life, a little art area, a cosy reading corner for stories, small world play and areas for more ‘school’ style skills such as writing. Being three or four years old is a magical age and the pace of learning and knowledge accumulation is visible almost daily.

Our Approach

Creating stimulating and exciting learning opportunities which mean children leap in to nursery with excitement every day is at the centre of the remit for our Preschool. Every child has a key person who is carefully observing them, tracking their development and teaching them new skills along the way. Children learn to be fully independent in terms of daily routines and skills while they are here so that when they leave they are well equipped to look after themselves at school. We also start to see the gentle introduction of ways of learning that will also feel familiar at school such as circle time and show and tell.
