About

We help children engage their bodies and minds through fun and educational activities.

Vision Statement:

An environment where our children can Create, Explore, Imagine and Learn.

Charis Preschool offers a welcoming, friendly atmosphere for both child and parent/carer. We encourage family involvement and are community focused. We are constantly striving towards improvement. We provide children with a happy, safe and nurturing environment where we inspire to foster total development individualised to your child’s needs. We offer a broad range of educational opportunities and provide experiences that enrich each child’s social, emotional, physical, intellectual, cognitive and creative abilities.

We aim to foster each child’s uniqueness and individuality and provide a diverse, vibrant programme as they work towards common goals within the Early Years Foundation Stage. We set the foundations of your child’s first steps on their academic journey and can serve as the basis for all future learning.

Our pre-school is a place where your child learns to enjoy school and learns to love learning through play. Here at Charis Preschool we promote educational learning skills irrespective of gender, cultural background or disability. We are committed to providing positive role models for the children in our care. We aim to instill morals and values to enable each child to continue through school with the necessary skills to promote life-long learning.

We encourage everyone at Charis to have a sense of belonging and strive to develop self esteem through; fun, love, respect, teamwork and equality.

We aim is to be friendly, homely, supportive and most of all fun.

A place your child looks forward to coming to, meet new friends, learn to share, join in games and learn in a positive and stimulating way.

Your child will have opportunities to join in so many activities both within the nursery, playing in our secure play area or going out on fully supervised trips to the local park, Farms, Library and other social activities.

It is a known fact that children begin learning from an early age, children absorb knowledge and develop at a fast pace. It is widely recognised that children can benefit enormously from the social interaction that a nursery education brings.

Children who attend day nurseries – even if only for a few sessions each week – learn to share, to be tolerant and how to behave considerately alongside their peers.
There are hidden benefits too. Children who attend nursery become used to eating away from home and trying out a range of foods – so no nasty shocks when they first come face to face with a school dinner!

Our children spend time with their keyperson, building trust and friendship whilst exploring their environment and having fun. The start point for early year’s education is achieved through play, using activities and toys in a variety of ways to keep learning fun.

As your child progresses they are introduced to phonics, writing, numeracy, basic technology, and the world around us. Working on the computer, optional French and music lessons bring added enjoyment and interest. All of these topics are covered by the Foundation Stage which is inspected regularly by Ofsted. They prepare a report which is always available for you to see.
