Second Steps Afternoons : Monday, Tuesday, Thursday (3-4 Year Olds)

Caley Pre-School is registered with and inspected by Ofsted, owned by Christ Church URC (see link below), and is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance.

We are open 38 weeks per year, in line with local primary schools' term times. We recommend a minimum of 2 sessions per week and will endeavour to accommodate your session choices.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and provide an environment and activities to develop their social, communication and physical skills, learn through exploration, discovery and problem solving, and we introduce them to early literacy and numeracy skills.

We also have special events organised throughout the year including nature outings, Sports Day, Open Days, and various visitiors including Story Tellers, EY Sports Coaches and Exotic Animals.

We value parental input at our Committee Meetings/AGM. We work in partnership with parents and all local primary schools to ensure a smooth transition between home/Pre-School/Primary Education and therefore offering consistency of care.

We promote equality regardless of gender, race, disability, ethnic or national origin, age, marital status, religious belief or skin colour. By working in partnership with parents/carers, other agencies or professions, we aim to promote inclusion, understand and value diversity and to help all children realise their potential in terms of achievement, through participation and equal opportunities access to curricular and extra-curricular activities within the pre-school.
