A little bit about us....

Snape Pre-School was newly built in the grounds of Snape Primary School in November 2020. We opened in January 2021 and have created a safe and nurturing environment for children from 2.5 - 4 years old to play and learn. 

Our Pre-School is open plan with lots of enticing areas for children to explore.  The outside decking area is a fun and safe space for children to engage freely throughout the day.    


Please get in touch if you require any further information or if you would like to arrange a visit.

Our Pre-School Star this time is....

Nancy

For a fantastic start to the term!


Well-done! 

Celebration Assembly star

We attend Celebration Assemblies over at the school fortnightly. We choose a Pre-School star to celebrate and award a certificate to.

We think ALL of our Pre-School children are Stars of course, but it is lovely to celebrate them in this way. 

Rainbow Values

Following the School's ethos, we will be focusing on a Rainbow Value each fortnight.

The Values:

Inclusion, Diversity, STEM, Creativity, Imagination, Innovation, ME

Our Rainbow value this time is STEM!

"Pre-School is amazing! What a wonderful team of caring and kind individuals! My little one is excited to go to school each morning and always has a great day! She loves Forest School and all of the activities that they do, she can write her own and her friends names and knows all her phonics! There isn't anything that you need to change, you all do a super job, thank you." 

"All staff go above and beyond. They are approachable, genuine and kind. I trust them all completely. Also my daughters cognitive ability has come on leaps and bounds since starting. I can physically see this development. There is clearly a fantastic phonics engagement. My daughter feels part of a family and so do we. I feel she is valued and loved which feels so different to any other nursery she has attended. She is happy and can show all sides of her emotions in a completely safe space. We utterly love Snape Pre-School and would be completely lost without it. Thank you for everything you do!"

"All we ask as parents is for our child to be happy and safe. From day one all the staff at Snape Pre-School have made this happen. Logan runs into Pre-School every morning, excited to tell the staff all about his weekends and the things that happen at home. Equally, he comes running out of Pre-School every day full of everything he has done throughout the day. The staff are all warm and welcoming and are always happy to help. Communication is great and we always look forward to our weekly Tapestry updates to see what Logan has been doing. For us, Snape Pre-School is the best place we could have sent Logan."
