Fishbourne Pre-School aims to provide a happy,
friendly, nurturing and stimulating environment
where children can achieve their best.
Our Aims
At Fishbourne Pre-School, we offer a safe, caring, and welcoming environment where children feel happy, secure, and ready to learn. We work closely with parents and families from our local and surrounding communities to help every child grow, achieve, and feel inspired as they work towards their Early Years learning goals and prepare for their move to primary school.
We create a positive atmosphere where children feel valued and confident. Through play and gentle encouragement, children develop independence, build friendships, and learn how to socialise with other children and adults. British values are part of our everyday routine, and we celebrate every child’s individuality in a friendly and inclusive setting.
We believe every child deserves the same opportunities to learn and succeed. All children are supported to make progress at their own pace, regardless of gender, background, culture, beliefs, or additional needs. Kindness is at the heart of what we do, and we encourage gentle hands and walking feet throughout the setting.
We value our parents and carers and see them as important partners in their child’s learning journey.
Our Approach
Children learn best through play, and this is at the heart of everything we do. Each child is central to our practice, and we know that when learning is based on a child’s interests, it becomes exciting and meaningful. We take time to understand each child’s starting point and celebrate all their special “wow” moments.
We provide a balance of child-led play and carefully planned activities, ensuring high-quality learning experiences for everyone. Children’s next steps are thoughtfully planned to support their development, and learning is observed, supported, and celebrated every day. We regularly share children’s progress with parents and enjoy working together to support their development.
We are always reflecting on what we do and looking for ways to improve.
Our friendly staff team includes Level 3 and Level 5 Early Years Educators who take part in regular training to keep their knowledge and skills up to date.
When needed, Fishbourne Pre-School works closely with other professionals, such as Speech and Language Therapists and SEND services, to make sure children receive the right support and can reach their full potential.
