At Crowle Preschool we endeavour to promote a fun, caring and nurturing environment for children aged 2-4 years old.
With our team of dedicated and experienced staff, we provide high quality early years education based on learning through play in a safe, respectful and inclusive environment that creates a sound foundation for life-long learning.
Our extensive outdoor area including an Allotment Adventure allows children to embrace the freedom of the outdoors and enables children to explore their environment through their natural curiosity.
A beautifully rural Worcestershire setting
Operating for over 50 years, we are a well established, friendly pre-school in the heart of the thriving village community of Crowle, yet only a short drive from many other villages, Worcester and the M5 (J6) - and our children join us from all of these locations, and more! Based in the Parish Hall, the children have ample space indoors and a wonderful outdoor space to play and explore safely.
Children are welcome from the age of two up to school entry age, and we offer a flexible choice of full or part day care. We are registered to take a maximum of 36 children per session.
We are OFSTED registered and we belong to the Pre-School Learning Alliance. We also have good links with many of the local First schools including Crowle First School.
Learning Through Play
As professionals at Crowle Pre-school we believe that children develop and learn best through play. We provide our children with a combination of child and adult initiated activities in a safe and secure environment. Children can progress and learn in their own individual way, providing strong foundations for their learning and development.
Early Years Foundation Stage
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is how Government and early years professionals describe the time in your child's life between birth and age 5. This is a very important stage as it helps your child get ready for school as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes...
Allotment Adventure
Children and staff enjoy weekly visits to our Allotment Adventure site, which is situated a short distance walk from Preschool. This additional outdoor space provides a breadth of learning opportunities from growing seeds and plants to exploring wildlife, whilst enjoying activities such as the mud kitchen, the mud mound slide and much more.
