All About the Pre-School
TCC Pre-School started in 1992 and was originally based in a temporary
building on the current site. It moved into the new Children's Centre when it opened in 1994. It became a
registered charity in 1999.
The Pre-School is based in one half of the Children's Centre, with access to
the kitchen and its own enclosed play area outside. It also has access to the
larger tarmac area and an outside teaching area and wildlife garden (recently
completed!), both of which are completely fenced in.
TCC
Pre-School is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance (PLA), a national
organisation that supports and advises groups throughout the country that
cater for under 5’s and their parents.
The
Pre-School is also registered with OFSTED (Office For Standard in Education)
and is currently able to accommodate a maximum of 26 children per session
under the terms of the registration certificate. We are inspected regularly
both against the fourteen National Standards for Sessional Daycare and the
Early Years Learning Goals as defined by OFSTED. This ensures that the
required educational standards are maintained and that the environment is
happy, safe and non-discriminatory. A copy of our last Ofsted report can be
