Southwater Village Hall Pre-School



About Us

We aim to provide your child with a safe, caring environment in which they can be encouraged to learn through play and planned activities.

These activities are guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).




The 4 key themes within the EYFS are:
  • A unique child
  • Positive relationships
  • Enabling environments
  • Learning and development
And the 6 areas of development and learning in the EYFS are:
  • Personal, Social and Emotional development
  • Communication, Language and Literacy
  • Knowledge and understanding of the world
  • Mathematical development
  • Physical development
  • Creative development

None of the areas of learning and development can be delivered in isolation from the others. They are equally important and depend upon each other to support a rounded approach to child development. All the areas must be delivered through planned purposeful play, with a balance of adult-led and child initiated play.

We aim to achieve the following:

  • High quality early years care and education to all children in a warm, secure, safe and caring environment.
  • To work in partnership with parents/carers so that we can provide for all children's individual and changing needs.
  • Our Special-Needs Co-ordinator encourages equal opportunities for all children, regardless of cultural differences, gender, and learning abilities.
  • Play equipment, materials and activities provided are planned by qualified staff to cover all areas of learning, enabling most children to achieve the early learning goals by the end of reception year at school.
  • All areas of learning are regularly evaluated, and modified and extended to meet the needs of the individual.
