Cherhill Preschool

In our village hall, Cherhill Preschool was established in 1978 as a sessional playgroup. After 18 months of fundraising and arduous labour, we finally moved into our own space in the Cherhill C of E School grounds in 2006. We combined with Heddington Preschool in 2019 and are now able to provide childcare at two excellent locations. The manager is in charge of the team of fully trained employees that deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage. We adhere to "The Curiosity Approach" in our environment because we think of ourselves as "an extension of home, not a watered-down school." Children have access to a wide range of educational possibilities, including hikes around the village, planting seeds, and classes on nature and the environment. In addition to running forest school sessions in the primary school's sensory garden, the preschool offers PE classes and music/singing time. We are thrilled to be able to provide full-day care for up to 27 children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years in our current facilities. Care is available year-round in both settings. To observe how much fun our kids have learning through play, we invite you to stop by and take a look around with your kid.
