Welcome to Mortimer Pre-School
Our aim is to provide a safe, happy and stimulating environment that
encourages learning through play for children aged 2 to 5 years.

The pre-school is warm and inviting, offering a caring and nurturing environment where children can play and learn. We offer a wide range of activities, including baking, gardening and messy play. We believe that the pre-school has a responsibility to provide your child with the following opportunities;
– To learn by doing and playing
– To make new friends and develop relationships
– Time and space to explore and experiment
– Self-confidence and independence
– To be interested, excited and motivated to learn

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.
