Why Us

The best early learning experience

At Springboard Pre-School, we understand that exploration and play support young children’s learning and development. This is how children experience and understand the world around them. We have created a stimulating environment which encourages children to learn and develop through play.

Our curriculum offers a balance of child led and adult planned fun activities to help your child make progress in all areas. These are based on the nationally approved Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

Holistic approach

Springboard Pre-School provides support that looks at the whole child, to ensure that their mental, physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing needs are catered for.

Passionate staff

All staff at Springboard Pre-School are passionate about their work and strive to be the best at what they do.

Active Supervision

Springboard Pre-School promotes active supervision to promote a safe environment and to prevent injuries in young children. Staff use active supervision strategies to make sure children of all ages explore their environments safely.
