In 1984 a group of Swimbridge mums started the villages first playgroup in the Old School Rooms. Since then it has grown and developed into the current pre-school to meet the communities needs and OFSTEDs requirements.

The Pre-school provides a happy, colourful, safe and stimulating environment for learning through play and social interaction, recognising right from wrong, developing independence and building self confidence.

Swimbridge Pre-school is still held in the Old School Rooms with 4 sessions each term held at Swimbridge Primary School in order to familiarise children within a school setting and to make use of the outdoor space available.

During book week we would like the children to bring in their favourite book. On Thursday 4th March it is World Book Day and we would like the children to dress up as a character from a book ( staff will be joining in!).

We will be holding parents' evening on Wednesday 2nd March - this is an opportunity to discuss your child. Please sign up on the list on the board if you would like to come. This year we are trying a new system where you will meet with your child's key person. If you would like to meet with all the staff please let us know.

Please rememember to keep your child at home if they are unwell. If they have had sickness or diarrhoea they must be clear of any symptoms for 48 hours before they return.

Please check your rota days. 

Thank-you

Emma, Khadine and Sarah

Donations of puddings to be entered will be wanted and would need to feed 35 people.

There will be an open morning mid November to try and encourage new people to look around the Pre-School and realise its here because without the children there will be no Pre-School running.
