Bright Stars is a Preschool provision for children from the term after their third birthday. However, if your child is 2 years old please speak to the office.

The school operates five days a week between 8-30am and 15-15pm. 

​

We offer the 15 hours Universal Childcare Entitlement for all 3&4 year olds, plus the extended 15 hours for working parents if you are eligible. There is an option of staying for a lunch session from 11.30am to 12.15pm at £5 per session, or paying for sessions that are not covered by funding.

​

Your entitlement to a Free Early Education place does not offer a guarantee of a place at any one provider or a particular pattern of delivery.

 

Graded GOOD by Ofsted in 2019, Bright Stars Preschool provides an excellent start to your child’s education.

Our aims

​

Explore

We explore the world around us. We have a special focus on the performing arts and the outdoors, enhanced by our Forest School activities.

 

Create
We inspire creative and independent thinking, through our open-ended play activities, and by celebrating and listening to our children's ideas.

 

Discover
We give children opportunities to follow their fascinations and discover their capabilities by planning our learning journey with them.

How do we achieve our aims?

​

• We create an atmosphere of fun and friendship for everyone, adults and  children alike.
