We have two pre-schools based in Chippenham.

They provide childcare for pre-school children and are run and managed by Graduate Leaders with outstanding expertise in early childhood education.  All of our pre-schools are staffed by highly trained and well qualified staff who regularly improve their skills and knowledge by undertaking professional training and by carrying out detailed observations of children in order to plan for improved outcomes.

In addition, all of our pre-schools are fully integrated with our Children’s Centre teams. Families who are fortunate enough to have their children attend a pre-school will benefit from all of the Children’s Centre services and staff.
