child is a leading-edge pre-school learning environment, specifically designed to exceed all requirements by the Ministry of Education in terms of education standards, equipment, staff qualifications and teacher/child ratios, monitoring and reporting, safety and security, health and nutrition, climate and environmental responsibilities.

Located in a modern, innovative building at Smales Farm, child encompasses five seperate pre-schools with five seperate outdoor playgrounds. Each pre-school is a stand-alone entity encompassing its own teachers, bathroom, sleep room, programmes, and creative indoor and outdoor areas.

This unique concept allows us to tailor each pre-school’s environment, equipment, teaching resources and programmes to that age group. By maintaining small class sizes and high quality teacher/child ratios, we can ensure close, personal attention between our children and their teachers. Our Babies Preschool is from birth to two years old and caters for 16 children with five staff which allows for an exceptional teacher/child ration of 1:3.

We keep detailed daily records for each child aged under two. This shows sleep times, food eaten, bottles given, nappy changes and how their day was in general. There is also opportunity for any relevant information from the parents for that day regarding their sleep, breakfast, that morning’s behaviour etc.
