Welcome to Titchmarsh Pre-school, a voluntary organisation, first established in 1985 and now a registered charity.

The Pre-school is situated on the High Street of Titchmarsh village. It is a community Pre-school, which is affiliated to the Pre-school Learning Alliance and the Early Years Childcare and Development Partnership (EYCDP).  We comply with Ofsted standards and in October 2004 we were rated by Ofstead as “very good”. For a copy of the report, please see the website www.ofsted.gov.uk

We have children from Titchmarsh and the surrounding towns and villages including Thrapston, Clopton, Lowick and Raunds.  Many of the children go on to Titchmarsh C of E Primary School and we maintain a strong link with the school, especially for the rising 5’s during their final term with us.

We provide a safe and stimulating environment in which children are encouraged to learn through play. Achieving this involves everyone, the children, the staff and their supporting Committee team, and of course you, the parents.

Everyone is welcome at our Pre-school which caters for children from 2 years 6 months to school age. Currently we can host a maximum of 26 children at each session. We are able to use vouchers which allow children who are 3 years old to attend five sessions per week for free. Our rates are competitive and we are currently evaluating possibilities for full day care.

Our aims are:

• to enhance the development and education of children in a parent-involved community based group

• to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment

• to help your child to prepare for their entry to school

• to work within a framework which ensures equality of opportunity for all children and families

We will offer your child:

• a specially tailored curriculum leading to the early learning goals (ref: page 9 'Foundation Stage')

• individual care and attention by ensuring a high ratio of adults to children

• an environment where learning is fun and children feel able to forge new relationships and explore the boundaries of their knowledge

• the support of a personal 'key worker' who will monitor and report on your child’s progress

• opportunities for their family to be directly involved in the activities of the pre-school

Future events:-  

School disco - Thursday 3rd April 2008, 5 - 7pm in the Clubroom. There will be a disco and games, stalls, hot dogs, refreshments, face paintings, tombola and tattoos. Tickets 50p available at the door or in advance. Everyone welcome.
