About us

At St. John’s we believe in the importance of a warm, friendly and nurturing atmosphere. We look at each of our children as individuals, helping them to build positive relationships with staff and friends and to learn through play.

Activities are planned by the team to develop the children’s knowledge and understanding, encourage independence and lay the foundations for a lifetime of learning.

We are delighted to inform you, we are embarking on an Accreditation scheme to become a Pre-School which follows ‘The Curiosity Approach’.   This approach is specifically for forward thinking settings, like ours, who want to create beautiful environments for our incredible children. Inspiring them to be inquisitive and curious, creating the “thinkers and doers” of the future.

You can read further information on this approach by downloading our letter Curiosity Approach letter

The most recent Ofsted inspection (November 2022) rated the Pre-School as Good for all areas. Follow this link for the full report: Ofsted reports

St. John’s is a community pre-school with charitable status. It is owned and run by parents with a full time manager, deputy and three other permanent members of staff as well as several pre-school assistants.
