About us
The School
We are a long established, committee run, dedicated and highly motivated pre-school. We provide a stimulating educational programme for children aged 2 to 5 years, following the Early Years Foundation Stage framework.
We are open term time and offer morning and afternoon sessions, as well as optional Lunch Club each day.
We work with your child's individual needs and interests with you in partnership. Your input is always welcomed.
Key Persons
Paint pots preschool setting uses a key person approach. This means that each member of staff has a group of children for whom they are particularly responsible. Your child's key person will be the person who works with you to make sure that what we provide is right for your child's particular needs and interests. When your child first starts at the setting, your Key Person will help your child to settle in and throughout your child's time at the setting, they will help your child to benefit from the setting's activities.
Continual Professional Development
As well as gaining qualifications in early years care and education, the setting staff take part in further training to help them to keep up to date with thinking about early years care and education. The setting also keeps itself up to date with best practice in early years care and education, as a member of the Early Years Alliance.
