Established over 35 years ago, Medbourne Pre-school aims to provide high quality childcare, working with parents and families to provide an informal, happy and safe environment in which children are encouraged to make friends, have fun and develop at their own pace, by learning through play.
“The pre-school is at the heart of the community and is highly valued by parents. Children are happy and eager to learn. Staff show a genuine pleasure in being with the children.” Ofsted
RECENT NEWS
AUTUMN 2024
The children have settled well and are enjoying all of our Autumn activities. Highlights so far have included finding and sorting lots of different coloured leaves as they fall from the trees, spotting interesting spiders` webs and generally making the most of our wonderful outdoor space! We have used our senses to admire some lovely shiny conkers and numeracy skills to count and compare them! The children enjoyed a fabulous session with Singing Sally celebrating Fireworks Night and created some beautiful paintings using autumnal colours and pretty chalk drawings of whirly fireworks! Displayed on the wall in the main hall are the rather brilliant self-portraits created by each child using a mirror, a choice of paints and accessories- a lovely celebration of our individuality!
SUMMER 2024
We have celebrated a successful Summer Term, culminating in (a very hot!) Sports Day, a jolly seaside-themed Singing Sally session and an emotional 'Goodbye' to our leavers who now move on to the next stage in their lives. We wish them well and many happy times ahead. We have also been able to say 'Goodbye' and 'Thank you' to Catherine after 10 years of working at Pre-school.
The new term begins on September 3rd when we shall welcome back our younger children as well as several new families. We hope that they will all enjoy their time with us and make lots of new friends as we embark on a busy, fun-filled Autumn Term.
April 2024
We are all really enjoying looking at animals and their homes/babies at the moment. We have also weaved our own nest from moss/twigs/feathers that the children have collected from the wonderful outdoor space we have at the Village Hall. Jane Clarke kindly brought the Pre-school some frogspawn to look at and that has spurred a lot of interest in the children to think and talk about frogs and their lifecycles.
We are starting to enjoy some warmer days with wild flower hunts inspiring lots of lovely artwork. The final term of the year also means we are working our way towards the end of the sound alphabet and that the older children are readying themselves for their next new exciting chapter!
