From the The Sombornes Preschool
Welcome to The Sombornes Preschool, serving Kings Somborne, Little Somborne, Up Somborne, and the surrounding area. We are located in the heart of the Test Valley.
We are an independent, OFSTED-approved preschool that provides play-based learning in a welcoming, casual environment for kids ages 2 to school age.
In order to facilitate a smooth transition for kids entering Year R, we also have excellent links with the neighbourhood primary school.
We have created a five-year plan to ensure the preschool's future.
We hope that the weather will continue to improve, and with that in mind, please could we request that all children have a named sunhat that can be kept at pre-school, and that sun cream is applied before arriving at pre-school in the morning.
After lunch, we are pleased to reapply sunscreen for the kids who stay all day.
We'd like to extend a very warm welcome to this term's new students Josie, Noah, Darcie, and Rupert.
This was completed over the half-term week, and the children have had a great time exploring and having fun outside.
The Sombornes Preschool, situated in the new community building next to the Village Hall, recently unveiled a brand new outdoor play area, much to the delight of the 30 children who use this important facility every week.
