Springwood Preschool is a friendly and welcoming provision for children and families. We are open Term-Time from 9am – 3pm.
The setting itself has spacious main hall, and the smaller one we can use for group sessions or 1to1 time. We have a free flow garden we can use too. We offer natural materials for children to investigate and explore. We are incorporating Curiosity Approach in our setting. Children are free to explore in our large creating station with support from our friendly team of qualified staff. Springwood’s team provide fun, challenging experiences through a well planned environment that supports child’s individual intents (knowledge, skills we want them to acquire). Children take part in small group activities each session. We provide fun soft play, climbing frames, physical equipment, balls with target practice, musical instrument and much more. Our outside space provides room for children to run, climb, jump or dig in our free flow garden, where children have the opportunity to play outside in all weathers.
We encourage our parents to support their children’s learning at home as well as at preschool by building strong positive relationships with our families. The setting supports children with learning difficulties and/or disabilities and children who speak English as an additional language.
Our children should bring their pack lunch if staying with us all day. We also offer healthy snacks throughout the day.
