Squirrels, Rabbits & Hedgehogs

The Squirrels, Rabbits & Hedgehogs are our youngest children (2 yrs to rising 3's). But we take a handful of children slightly younger. We have 8 children in each group. 

Each member of staff has been carefully selected for their qualifications, experience, and caring attitude towards children, regardless of their sex, age, ethnicity, or religion. All staff are police checked and we are fortunate to have committed bank staff, Cathy, Gayna, Tina and Tracey, who cover staff absence. Hayley Majeika and Sarah Norfolk are the joint Officers-in-Charge who run the Pre-School.

For many children starting at Beechoak Farm it will be their first experience away from home. These rooms have a warm, cosy feel where the children can settle in and learn the routine and expectations. Children also have the option of sleeping during the afternoon.

Each room has an emphasis on learning social skills and independence as well as introducing the basics - colours, shapes, number etc. Everything is introduced through hands on sensory play!
