Preschool – Preparing for the Future

Play, Discover, Learn

LATEST NEWS: *Our Preschool places are in high demand, whilst children don’t start with us until the are three years old, you can now register your interest in a place from birth onwards.

At Martinshaw Preschool, we prepare your child for their future school journey, giving them the best start to their education. Our aim is to transition children into school as happy, confident and independent learners. We nurture the uniqueness of each child and enable them to develop a sense of pride in their own identity.

We are a teacher-led setting and can offer our children an inspiring and fun-filled Early Years curriculum. We have a large classroom, our own outdoor learning area and use of the school’s facilities, such as the woods, trim-trail, large playing field and sports hall.

Our children have full access to the indoor and outdoor area throughout the day. This free-flow play environment offers a rich learning experience for children. It allows them to progress at their own, individual pace and develop independence in their learning.

We work closely alongside you as parents and carers, ensuring that you feel informed and involved in your child’s early education. Each of our children is allocated a Key Person who will encourage and extend their learning experiences. Their role is to ensure that your child feels happy, secure and well cared for, whilst developing important key skills, in a stimulating and nurturing environment.

We understand that starting school is a huge step for little feet. At Martinshaw Preschool it is our priority to prepare your child for the next stage in their learning journey. They will develop the social skills, communication skills and independence they need for a successful transition to school. We want all of our children to have the best start, which is why we work hard to provide a smooth transition to your child’s chosen school.

Martinshaw Preschool offers flexible sessions, with morning, afternoon or full days available. We are also able to accept the FEEE 30 hours free childcare available to eligible parents and carers of children aged three and over.

We warmly welcome you to arrange a visit to our Preschool. To make an appointment or find out more, please contact our Preschool Manager, Mrs McKain: preschool@martinshaw.leics.sch.uk
