We are proud to offer a very friendly and happy environment at Skidby Pre-School for all children to learn through play and activities. We are a small setting within Skidby C of E Primary School with our own enclosed and sheltered outdoor play area. We work very closely with the school and staff.
We have resources and equipment to vary and maintain the interest of our children so they develop in all areas of the curriculum. We promote learning through play. Child participation and independence of choice are strongly encouraged throughout all our activities and also in a group environment, listening to others as well as having their own individual opinions and ideas.
We have a good balance of adult and child-led activities, as well as free play throughout each session. This enables the children to build on their confidence and to learn social skills, sharing, taking turns and making independent choices. We pride ourselves on preparing all our children for a smooth transition into primary school.
All children who are new to Skidby Pre-School are invited to attend with their parents or carers before their start date. This enables them to recognise a friendly face when they start not long after and to get a feel for the setting and the toys and activities on offer.
All seven areas of learning from the Early Years Foundation Stage are taught and adhered to on a daily basis, either as a group activity or on a one-to-one basis. We work closely alongside parents and other agencies to ensure we offer a supportive environment for children with additional needs and beliefs.
