Road and then later in the Methodist Church Hall, Ampthill Road. In January 2006 the
pre-school committee were approached to build a new school which would enable us to
improve our facilities as well as provide wrap around care to fit in with new government plans. Our new premises officially opened on 26th April 2008. This is a purpose built, purpose designed building for our pre-school which has enabled us to offer an even better pre-school to Shefford and the surrounding villages.
The maximum number of children in our pre-school is 26 per session, aged between 2 years and 9 months up to 5 years. Our 10 sessions per week run from 9.15am to 11.45am and 12.45am to 3.15pm. We offer children the opportunity to learn through play in a stimulating and nurturing environment. We recognise that every child is an individual with their own character, abilities, sense of humour and needs.
Our staff are extremely qualified ranging from NVQ2 up to Diploma in Pre-School practice and between them have over 30 years experience of running a pre-school.
DUCK RACE
Our annual Duck Race will take place on Saturday 10 July 2010 at The White Swan pub, Shefford. If you are a local company and you wish to sponsor a race, we would love to hear from you, but above all else, we look forward to seeing you and your family at the event. Come along and join in the fun!
Our new premises allow us to run a morning, lunch and after school club. The morning (8.00am – 9.15am) and afternoon club (3.15pm – 5.00pm or 3.15pm – 6.00pm) is open to children aged 2 years 9 months to 9 years and runs Monday to Friday. Our lunch club (11.45am – 12.45pm) is open to children aged 2 years 9 months to 5 years and also runs Monday to Friday.
To make our duck race a success, we rely on the help of volunteers and donations. This year we are desperate for people who can help “man” the face painting stall. If you can paint faces and are happy to give us one hour of your time, please contact Andrea at the pre-school office.
Also, if you have any soft toys in good condition, please donate them to out teddy tombola. Donations can be handed in to the pre-school office - many thanks.
