From the first day at Lewknor Pre-School your child will feel welcomed and at home. We believe in providing an environment that nurtures the well-being of each child, where every child is special, valued and respected for who they are, rather than what they can or cannot do.

Lewknor welcomes children between the ages of 2 and 5. Your child is eligible to begin Lewknor as soon as they are 2. We are open weekday mornings from 8.30am to 11.30am, at a cost of £18, with an optional lunch club from 11.30am– 12.30pm, for a further £6. We are also open for full days until 3.30pm, at a cost of £42 for the day. There is a one off registration fee of £40 which includes a book bag. Government funding is available for children from the term after their 3rd birthday, for 15 hours per week. Since September 2017, the Government have introduced an additional 15 hours per week and can now claim a maximum of 30 hours per week. Lewknor pre-school is open for 35 hours per week. To see if you qualify apply to www.childcarechoices.gov.uk Some 2 year olds also qualify for funding.

We encourage parents to visit the pre-school with their children during the weeks before an admission is planned, in order to meet the staff and other children. Where appropriate, parents may separate from their child for brief periods at first, gradually building up to longer absences.

Learning takes place both within the pre-school building and outside in the adjoining fields. During the morning sessions children often go on short excursions so that they can explore and experience nature, the seasons and the weather. Within the enclosed outdoor playground there is plenty of space for them to enjoy the trikes and ride on toys, as well as messy play and climbing equipment.
