Pre-School
We follow the same calendar as local schools and are open 38 weeks a year closing for Easter, Summer, Christmas holidays and half terms. The pre-school opens for 4.5 days per week and runs:
Cygnet sessions Monday to Friday 9.15am to 11.45am
Swan sessions Monday to Thursday 12.30pm 3.00pm
Cygnets (Every morning Monday – Friday 9.15am – 11.45am)
These morning sessions are for children below school age and over the age of two and a half years.
We focus on learning through play, using a tailored curriculum leading to approved learning outcomes.
Cygnet sessions allow children the opportunity to make their own choice of whom and with and what they play. There is adult interaction to encourage activities. We follow the National Curriculum’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) for children.
We have a high adult to child ratio, a maximum of 1:6, with a maximum of 24 children at each session, giving a high standard of individual attention.
Swans (Monday – Thursday afternoons 12.30 – 3.00pm)
These afternoon sessions have been developed to aid the child in the transition from pre-school to primary school. Places are available two or three terms before they enter their reception class depending on demand. We liaise with Cobham and Meopham Primary Schools to ensure continuity and that every child’s needs are catered for. Again, we have a high adult to child ratio of 1:4, with a maximum of 12 children at each session, giving an excellent standard of care and attention. Swan sessions allow children of a similar age to play together in a more structured atmosphere to encourage approved learning outcomes.For more information please email us
