– To make new friends and develop relationships
– Time and space to explore and experiment
– Self-confidence and independence

What the parents say..
“The team are fantastic. The communication is excellent. It is everything we wanted it to be rather than a corporate nursery setting.” 28/11/2020
“How friendly the staff are, how welcoming they’ve all been and how much they do with the children. My son comes out every session excitedly telling me all the things he has done, it’s great.” 28/11/2020
Mortimer Pre-ScHOOL
Mortimer Pre-school was started in 1964 and provides a play-based setting for pre-school age children. It is based in the heart of Mortimer at St. Johns Hall, which has good facilities and an outdoor play area.
Mortimer Pre-school values the support and input from parents and carers and there are many opportunities for parents and carers to be involved in their child’s pre-school education – through decision making by joining the committee or on a more practical level such as gardening.
