Welcome to the Upper Hopton Pre-School Programme

At Upper Hopton Pre-School we aim to provide a happy and exciting environment for children from 20 months until school age.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum providing opportunities for children to learn through play, to achieve their potential and be "School Ready".

"Free-flow" play is provided at each session, enabling children to choose activities they wish to be involved in, thus developing their confidence and self-esteem. Play extends to the fully enclosed, shaded outdoor area where a variety of learning experiences are provided and children can observe growth, decay and changes over time in the surrounding wildlife garden that they have contributed to.

Parent Involvement

We work closely with parents to ensure children are settled at their own pace when starting with us. Updates of children's learning and development are sent through Tapestry.

We hold Stay and Play sessions each term for parents and grandparents to come and play too.

Our Mission

Here at Upper Hopton Pre-School, our mission is to provide each child with a strong foundation for lifelong learning and the inspiration to excel in a safe and nurturing environment, supporting British values and enabling good citizenship within our community.
