A capital grant from Hampshire County Council, together with a Community Fund grant from the Co-op and help from our County Councillor, Adrian Collett, has meant that we have been able to design a purpose built, spacious facility with a large play room, food technology area, secure garden with brand new play equipment (including our own allotment), ICT zone with PCs and interactive whiteboard and a private meeting area for parents.
Because we now have our very own premises we have extended our opening hours: 9am to 12noon and 1pm to 4pm with a lunch club running from 12 noon to 1pm. Government funding is available for up to 15 hours per week at the preschool for children from the term after their 3rd birthday. Additional hours may be booked at what we think is a very competitive rate. All this has meant that our play provision is now second to none, we confidently deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage and we invite everyone along to see how our wonderful staff and children are enjoying it! |
