Barkham Pre-school 

Here at Barkham Pre school we provide a happy, secure and stimulating environment in which your child can develop, explore and have fun! Our aim is to provide learning experiences through a wide variety of free flow and structured activities, alongside play and to work in partnership with parents to help each child make a cheerful transition from home to school. 

 

We pride ourselves on our personalised approach to learning, making sure each child's experience of pre-school meets their individual needs, follows their interests and prepares them fully for a smooth transition to reception. Our children go on to a wide variety of local primary schools and we are fully involved in their transition, passing our detailed knowledge of them onto their new schools and teachers.

 

Our large and versatile setting is rurally located and benefits from free flow access to our secure pre-school garden with views over open countryside. We also have full use of the field within our grounds and the secure patio that is accessed through the patio doors of the small hall.  Our proximity to St James's Church, Rooks Nest Country Park and various footpaths enables us to take the children out of setting to explore their surroundings. As a family setting, parents and siblings are us much a part of our community as our children. Whether it's our termly stay and plays, our Christmas singing around the tree, our seasonal visits to St James church, we love welcoming our extended Barkham family into the setting.

We are registered with Wokingham Borough Council Community Services Department and are inspected by OFSTED. The Preschool was last inspected by OFSTED in 2022 and was judged to provide a 'Good' standard of care.
