Welcome to Enstone Pre-School  

Enstone Pre-School is a friendly, flourishing and successful charity, offering a variety of good quality pre-school care for children from birth up to five years of age and their families.  

First established in 1967, we moved into our own building situated in the grounds of Enstone Primary School in 1997 - thanks mainly to a National Lottery Grant award together with a lot of support and hard work from Pre-School families, Enstone Primary School and the local community.  

We are a voluntary committee run charity and are members of the Pre-School Learning Alliance. We are also listed as an Early Years Partner with Oxfordshire County Council and are able to accept Nursery Education Grant payments for qualifying children. We offer Ofsted registered sessional pre-school care and are registered to accept up to 16 children aged between 2 and 5 years of age. We also offer family sessions - monthly bumps and babes sessions and an integrated 'toddler' session for children aged 18+ months, where children are welcome to attend with their carers. 

For further details of all our sessions please phone (01608) 677192

Some comments from our glowing Pre-School OFSTED Report, October 2009  
  • The staff know the children well and have a good understanding of their immediate needs, particularly those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.
  • The day to day organisation is well planned and there is a good balance between adult-led activities and those selected by the children.
  • All children are fully included in the wide range of activities and make appropriate progress towards the early learning goals in relation to their starting points.
  • Staff use every opportunity to engage the children in conversation and, through careful questioning, encourage the children to explore ideas.
  • Children are kind to one another. They spontaneously help one another and take good account of each other's diverse needs and backgrounds.
  • The children are active, happy and well behaved, playing well together both inside and outside.
  • The children are confident and feel safe because they are well supervised and members of staff have warm and positive relationships with them,
  • There are good links with parents who are supportive and appreciate the provision made for their children.
  • Children enjoy their learning and this will contribute to the next phase of their education.
  • Good links with the host school enable children in the pre-school to enjoy their first school experience when they join the reception class.
  • The capacity of the pre-school to maintain continuous improvement is good.
