...choose The Co-operative Pre-school?
The pre-school stage, between the
ages of three and five, is a magical
time of exploration and discovery.
At The Co-operative Pre-school we
aim to provide a smooth and positive
transition for your child, offering the
fun and excitement of nursery along
with the more structured approach
that comes with school learning.
Your child entering pre-school comes with its fair share of
emotions, for both you as the parent and for your child.
As a parent you probably have little knowledge about what
pre-school offers. At The Co-operative Pre-school we will offer
guidance to parents to help navigate this exciting and challenging
time in your child’s life.
Our pre-schools will give your child the same learning
experience as that of a school, together with a sensitive
and responsive approach to each child’s needs.
Positive experiences at this stage can be hugely beneficial for your child;
developing confidence, sociability and values as well as skills in reading,
maths and other subjects. We gently introduce children to more academic
learning while in the familiar, caring environment of their nursery.
As we recognise this is a fast-track in preparation for school, we provide a
variety of daily experiences and challenges to develop children’s complex
learning skills. We provide a carefully planned programme that works towards
the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). We also work closely with parents
and carers to ensure home learning is contributing to the learning and
development taking place in pre-school.
We provide a happy, stimulating environment for your little ones, and
our pre-school programme is designed to give your child the very best
start in life, while upholding the values of The Co-operative Movement.
The Co-operative Movement puts honesty, openness and social responsibility
at the heart of everything we do.
