We believe that children learn best when they are actively engaged. At Pippins Preschool children are given opportunities to make sense of and develop an understanding of the world around them through hands on activities. At this enthusiastic, energetic and absorbent age we feel it is vital that children are provided with a nurturing early years environment where they can make their own choices, move freely, try new experiences and gain independence. We aim to provide a setting enriched with endless opportunities for social interaction, to be creative, sing, dance, enjoy nature and most importantly, just be children.

All play at Pippins is conducted in a safe environment under the guidance of qualified and experienced practitioners and a lovely team of assistants who are sympathetic to the care and educational needs of the children. We offer small group and individual attention and a Key Person works with each child on his / her individual development.

At Pippins we have a lovely large outside area where the children can ride bikes and scooters, play games, help in the vegetable patch and flower garden, dig, feed the birds, build dens, climb, create in the mud kitchen and hunt for bugs. Being outside is extremely important for a child’s health, development, learning and well-being so we do offer outdoor play whatever the weather.

Spaces at Pippins Preschool are limited to 18 children per session. Our small environment enables us to meet the individual needs of all the children and to properly assist them in achieving their full potential.

"There are inspirational relationships between staff and children. Children are extremelyhappy and confident, and enjoy the company of staff and each other. This helpschildren to have a positively high level of self confidence and self esteem." - Ofsted (2017)

My son has been going to Pippins since October 2022, and is loving it! The staff are so lovely, and have really supported my son in settling in and to help build his confidence. The setting is brilliant, with lots of opportunities for outdoor play. The resources are engaging and enjoyable for the children, my son loves the mud kitchen. Can’t recommend Pippins enough!

We absolutely love Pippins! Our daughter has been going to Pippins for the last 1.5 years and she has flourished under their care. She has so much fun every day and bounds into school to be with her friends. The teaching staff are amazing and I feel our daughter is now so much more ready for school come September. Thank you Pippins! You have made our daughter’s first experience of a teaching environment so great!

The best decision we have ever made for both our children has been enrolling them into Pippins Preschool. You do not just join a preschool here, you join a family! A family who care for the children like they are their own. Having two children who have had speech delays, Nicola and her team have worked tirelessly to help and support us and the children with guidance, knowledge and love! We can’t thank the Pippins team enough for everything they have done for us and continue to do for all the little Pippins under their care. We wouldn’t consider anywhere else for our children’s first years in education!

Pippins has been a wonderful experience for my 2 children. The staff are so lovely and genuinely care for the children; it's a big family environment. There are lots of activities for them to do and they are always exploring new things.
