Situated in the quiet, rural village of Steeple Aston our purpose-built Victorian school has been modernised and extended for the exclusive use of pre-school children.
A feeder pre-school to Dr Radcliffe's Primary School the children all benefit from this familiarity with a primary school setting, whether they go on to attend Dr Radcliffe's or another school.
Our core principles
-
Staff work hard to ensure a safe and supportive environment
-
Children are stimulated and interested in the wide range of activities
-
Children are encouraged to solve problems through experimentation, trial and error
-
Children learn there is more than one way to achieve a goal, and the process is as important as the result
-
Outstanding procedures for managing times of transition, such as settling children into the pre-school
What our parents say
The range of activities for both play and learning is astounding and inspiring. My son is so happy at home and growing and developing in the most beautiful way under the care of this team of teachers and carers. I am often very “moved” to see how happy my son skips in and out and how fondly he speaks of the staff. Also, I know they’re always there if we need them, and they communicate brilliantly.
My daughter is extremely happy and settled in your care, and we couldn't be more pleased. She genuinely enjoys her time with all of you, and we are grateful for the safe and nurturing environment you've created
Each member of staff is so supportive and caring, and my little boy absolutely loved going. Watching him grow in confidence and develop more independent skills over the years was just brilliant. I can’t recommend Steeple Aston Preschool highly enough.
My child had a fantastic experience and enjoyed every single moment in your care. She felt loved and supported throughout her time. We are particularly grateful for your adaptability and responsiveness to us as an LGBT family and we felt fully supported and included.
Learning happened in such a natural and fun way and was never heavy-handed or pressurised. We will always be thankful that our daughter was able to spend such important years in your care.
