Joining Pre-School is a happy time for your child, and we at Little Saplings provide a warm and caring environment, within which children can learn and develop through play.

As a member of Little Saplings Pre-School, your child:

• Is in a safe and stimulating environment;
• Is given generous care and attention, because of our high ratio of adults to children;
• Has the chance to join in with other children and adults to live, play, work and learn together;
• Is helped to take forward their learning and development by being helped to build on what they already know and can do;
•  Has a personal Key person who provides physical and emotional support as well as recording their development.
• Is in a pre-school which sees you as a partner in helping your child to learn and develop; and
• Is in a Pre school in which parents help to shape the service it offers.

The Pre-School is registered for 30 children per session.  Each main session is run by the Play leader and 4 members of staff.  We have a staff-to-child ratio of 1 to 8 for those over the age of 3 and of 1 to 4 for those children who are under 3.
