Why join us for Pre-school
We are lucky to be very much part of the caring and supportive Alton School community.
We benefit from our extensive woodland outdoor setting and the School’s sports facilities.
We give your child the equivalent of a year’s worth of school-like experience before starting school.
We offer a breadth of preschool learning activities, using our experience as educators to teach phonics and numeracy as well as having fun with art, music and Spanish.
We encourage children to socialise widely, so they are ready socially and emotionally for School.
Ultimately our aim is to make sure each child’s transition to school is as seamless as possible.
We are offering tours around our Nursery. See how to contact us and register below if you are interested in speaking to our staff and finding out why our Nursery can give your child the best start in life.
