What Our Families are Saying
Helping Your Child Explore, Grow, & Learn
We work very closely with Longridge C of E primary school to ensure a natural, smooth transition. We also work alongside the schools reception class teachers so they actually establish relationships with the children before they even start school and by entering the school on a regular basis your child will already be familiar with the ‘big’ school environment.
During the last term of pre-school your child will also be invited to have dinner at the school once a week, again this familiarity makes them so much more at ease once they start at the school.
We join the school for events such as sports days, Church assemblies and school productions and much more.
