HEIGHINGTON PRE-SCHOOL
The Best Care for Your Child
Heighington preschool offers quality care and education for children and families. We firmly believe that play is the most effective method of learning for any young child. We use their ideas and interests to shape our planning and activities for each term. Children should be nurtured in a safe and homely environment that challenges their thoughts and ideas, enables them to form friendships and work confidently and competently with others as a team, as well as individually.
THE POD
'The Pod' is the wonderful building Heighington Pre-School is based out of and has been our home for over 10 years. There is one large room that everyone can explore together and a smaller area for the 1-year-olds.
We have a large outdoor area which ensures children can experience different environments and activities such as mud pie making, large climbing and balancing, and den building!
THE TEAM
Our wonderful team are all locally based and have worked in childcare for many years.
All of the team keep up to date with the latest training and new ideas in early years!
Our team is led by the wonderful Louise who is Manager, Pracitioner and Group Organiser rolled in to one.
CURRICULUM
What is the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)?
The EYFS is a framework for children’s development from birth to the end of their first (reception) year in school.
The EYFS Framework describes how early years practitioners should work with children and their families to support their development and learning.
The EYFS describes how your child should be kept safe and cared for and how all concerned can make sure that your child achieves the most that they can in their earliest years of life.
HEALTHY EATING
We meet the welfare requirements outlines in the EYFS on food and drink: 'Where children are provided with meals, snacks and drinks, these must be healthy, balanced and nutritious.'
Education and exploration are important part of healthy eating. We engage the children with the snack prep process and let them explore lots of different types of food.
