The Pre-School at Kidstreet Nursery is the final room your child progresses through prior to their entry to school. Children in the Pre-School are aged 3 to 5. During this final stage at the setting the children’s education and welfare is continued and supported by a strongly qualified team. Qualifications within the room include a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies. Our room leader is also a qualified Early Years Professional. The Early Years Professional Status is endorsed by the government, and aims for raising the standards of practitioners in the Early Years sector by having lead professionals in settings.
We also have the support of our Inclusion Officer who can help with any additional needs a child may have. These can vary from children who are less able through to gifted and talented children. (Further information on “Inclusion” tab)
The Pre-School is currently divided over 2 rooms to allow for greater quality of education with smaller groups. Pre-School 1 and 2 have a mix of ages and abilities, which allows children to learn through their peer group along with adult lead learning.
Both Pre-School 1 and 2 are set-up with similar facilities. Each room has the essential areas within its layout to allow for productive learning. These areas include: role play areas, the book corners, creative areas and computers. In addition, areas are set-up daily for the children to access construction resources plus recourses to support language and literacy development.
Following the introduction of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, which combines the Birth to 3 Framework and the Foundation Stage, the Pre-School have continued to support the individual development and learning of the children within its care. (further information on the learning that occurs in the Pre-School can be found on the ‘Pre-school Learning’ tab).
The decision to place your child into our care is an important and significant decision. The education of your child is of significant importance to us, however there are several other important life experiences your child will learn when attending this setting. At Kidstreet Nursery Pre-School the importance of independence is a life skill we are eager to teach. Children are able to access bathroom facilities independently and are positively encouraged to manage their own health and well-being, staff do however monitor and supervise at all times. Children are encouraged to develop their own self-help skills, such as choosing appropriate clothing to wear according to the weather and to be able to dress themselves. These skills are taught with the support of the parents and within the Pre-school we understand and support the significant impact parents/guardians have on a child’s learning, therefore working closely with parents to scaffold the learning of their child.
