Play. explore. learn.
A safe and joyful place for your lovely children
About us
Welcome
At Cambourne Pre-School we want to give each child the best start to their school years, so we have created a nurturing and inspiring environment where children can develop their talents and build their confidence.
Our experienced team of pre-school teachers offer a balanced and challenging early years curriculum where activities are planned carefully so that each individual child can explore their interests, understand the world around them, learn and understand the importance of values and boost their self-esteem in readiness for their transition to primary school.
Development and learning is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage.
We open during term time, offering a selection of sessions for children aged between 2-4 years old.: Monday to Friday 9am-12pm and 12pm-3pm.
