Pinner Parish Pre-School is a long established and popular nondenominational Pre-School in the heart of Pinner Village.
As a registered charity we are not motivated by financial gain but only to achieve the objectives set out in our Mission Statement and aims.
We follow the Statutory Framework Early Years Foundation Stage and organize sessions to enable children to choose from a range of activities.
The children are also helped and encouraged to take part in small and large group activities led by staff. These introduce children to new experiences, teaching skills and helping them to learn to work with others (this might be singing nursery rhymes, storytelling with puppets or completing an assort course).
(Regular activities include: painting, arts and crafts, sensory experience, reading corner, weekly cooking, and planned role plays).
The notice board in foyer displays plans of weekly activities.
9am to 11.00am Free play
Our fully qualified and experienced staff supports the children whilst they play.
9.45am to 10.45am Snack (served during free play)
Children learn independence as they help to serve and then enjoy a healthy snack of fresh fruit and vegetables and a cup of water/milk. (We have a parent/fruit rota and expect parents/carers to help out one morning a half term. The children love to have their Mum or carer come in and help with the snack and activities.)
