Our Pre-School

Set within the grounds of Milford-on-Sea Primary School, we are an independent pre-school dedicated to providing a nurturing and enriching environment for young children. Our experienced team, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years, is passionate about early childhood education. With qualifications ranging from Qualified Teacher Status to Level 2, our staff is committed to supporting each child’s development through a child-centered, play-based approach.

We offer a rich curriculum designed to foster curiosity, creativity, and key skills in communication, problem-solving, and social interaction. Our pre-school accepts children from 2 years 9 months old, with three intakes throughout the year. Additionally, we accept 15 and 30 hour government funding and tax-free childcare options, making early education more accessible for families.

At the heart of our pre-school is the belief that every child is unique, and we are here to support them in their individual learning journey. Whether it’s your child’s first experience in a learning environment or a step toward more advanced challenges, we create a safe and welcoming space for children to thrive.

We are proud to be an Ofsted-registered provider of after school care for Milford-on-Sea Primary School. Our club is run by an experienced team of practitioners and play workers who are passionate about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for children.

Our sessions run from 3:15pm to 5:45pm each school day, offering a variety of activities to support children's social, emotional, and physical development. Children attending the club are provided with a healthy snack to keep them energized and happy throughout the afternoon.

We look forward to welcoming your child to our After School Club, where every session is filled with fun, learning, and friendship.

Our Holiday Club

Alongside our after school care, we are delighted to offer an exciting and engaging Holiday Club during the school holidays. Our holiday programme is packed with a wide range of activities, including arts and crafts days, sports and outdoor games, baking sessions, and so much more!

We can’t wait to welcome your child to a fun-filled holiday experience with us!

What Are Parents Say….

“We love the setting and number of different activities available, both indoor and outdoor. The pre-school really feels like a step up in maturity from the nursery that our child has also attended, and we feel that this is setting them up well for primary school. Overall, our experience is overwhelmingly positive and we would recommend the preschool to others .”

“What I like most are the staff - they are absolutely brilliant. Above and beyond. They make everything amazing for these kids and I have so much confidence handing the care of my child over to them with no concern - which is the most important to us. I also love the access to Forest school and allotments.
