St Peters Thundersley Preschool | 2025 Detailed Profile (with Reviews)

We are a committee-run, nonprofit preschool that has been operating in Thundersley village for more than 50 years.
For up to 35 kids per session, we can provide paid childcare for up to 30 hours.
Our aim is to provide a stimulating and caring environment, where children do feel safe and secure.
We provide children with the chance to grow and learn through play and exploration.
Our ultimate aim is to have prepared your child for their transition to full time education at a local school.
We welcome all children from 2 years to 5 years old and follow The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
This curriculum is set out in a document published by Dept for Education and Skills called Practise Guidance for The Early Years Foundation Stage.
We are inspected by OFSTED to ensure we meet their standards for learning, development and care for children up to the age of 5.
Fresh drinking water is available at all times and healthy snack is offered at each session to supplement each childs 5 a day quota.
The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum has been reformed, this mostly effects the final year when the children are in foundation stage at school, however it will affect how we work and assess the children in our care.
One change that will affect our reporting, assessments and therefore the childrens learning journeys is that children are no longer assessed within age brackets for achievement, this means that we must change our assessment tools, our development graph will be changing slightly but we will explain it all in more depth in your childrens folders.
