To provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment. To enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age in a parent-involving, community based group. To work within a framework which ensures equality of opportunity for all children and families. To encourage children to be independent and have fun and friendship with children and other adults.
A specially planned curriculum leading to approved learning outcomes. Individual care and attention. The support of an individual Keyworker. Opportunities for you and your family to be directly involved, in the activities of the group and in your child’s progress.
We operate a Keyworker system which gives each member of staff particular responsibility for just a few children. Each child in the group has one special adult to relate to, which can make the settling into the group much easier. Each parent will know who their child’s Keyworker is, and will be able to discuss their child’s progress or any concerns they may have.
Bovingdon Pre-School was previously known as Bovingdon Voluntary Nursery School, formed in the 1960’s, which also operated in the memorial hall. Bovingdon Pre-School was formed in the September 1996. Bovingdon Pre-School became a company limited by guarantee in September 2005.
Due to continued success and high demand, we are encouraging all parents who express an interest in sending their child(ren) to our Pre-School, to put their child(ren)’s name on our waiting list, as we are currently running at full capacity with an ever increasing waiting list. You can do this by using the link/form provided on this web-site or call in and fill in a registration form.

OFSTED November 2007: "The provision is good. Younger children are happy and settled and develop confidence and self-esteem because they receive consistent levels of support from staff. Younger children's learning is promoted because of the staff's secure knowledge of child development and their knowledge of the 'Birth to three matters' framework."
