From the Gosforth Pre-School
Preschool Gosforth In the centre of our neighbourhood, there is a welcoming and loving preschool called Dronfield. We have received two excellent Ofsted certificates and are pre-school learning alliance members. Since its inception in 1977, we have developed into a significant component of the Dronfield school community. We provide children ages 2 to 5 a high quality pre-school experience and maintain good relationships with all the local elementary schools. We take great pride in being able to provide sessional and full-day care at Gosforth Pre-School in a setting that is secure, educational, and nurturing. We have a wonderful, enclosed outside play area that the kids can use in any weather, and our garden has won numerous accolades. We have a Silver Eco certification and encourage kids to protect the environment. We also offer forest school, which allows your child the chance to discover new things while developing confidence and independence in a natural setting. Preschool entry is a significant milestone for both parents and children.
