A little bit about Healthworks Pre-school…

We look at all seven areas of the EYFS

At Healthworks we are dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for all children. We build on the strengths and interests of each child to form a solid foundation for their futures. Children have the opportunity to express themselves through music, dance, painting and messy play…we don’t advise sending your children in their best clothes as getting messy is lots of fun!

Having fun is great but we offer so much more. We look at all seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) when planning for the children’s development.

We spend a lot of time having fun outdoors in our community garden

Based in The Lemington Centre, our Pre-school is not short of space. We spend most of our time free flowing between our indoor and outdoor space. We also have a lovely community garden which we explore on a regular basis.

Throughout the session children are able to participate in a range of activities both indoors and outdoors. Activities vary from physical, messy play, exploring, mark making, maths and role play. We pride ourselves on the children’s interests being central to their learning and development.

We continually ‘Observe, Assess and Plan’

We continuously ‘Observe, Assess and Plan’ through the children’s play interests following guidelines from the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum and we recognise that parents are young children’s first educators and welcome their involvement.

Our Pre-school acknowledges and values each child’s individual stage, ability, culture, religion, language and family group and we are committed to the integration of children with disabilities/additional needs.

What our parents say about Healthworks Pre-school

“We all just want to say thank you for everything you have done for my child, he wouldn’t be the amazing little boy he is without you all!”

“Thank you to each and everyone of you for everything you have done. My child has had the best two years here and I am sad she is leaving.”

“From the bottom of my heart, thank you all so much for all of the love, care and support you have shown our family over the years! You all do the most wonderful job and work so very hard. Kindness and compassion shines through each and everyone of you – I cannot praise you enough!”

“Thank you for going above and beyond and caring for my chid over the past year. You have all helped her grow and learn in so many ways.”

“Thank you for helping my child grown and develop.”

“Just want to say a big thank you for your support you have giving my child to help him grow in everything he does.”

“The staff are lovely and always very interested in anything you have to say or any concerns you may have. The bond my child has with the staff is amazing and he loves it here.”

“I love the bond staff members have and are trying to make with my child and updates of her progress.”

“Amazing staff and Pre-school, just a lovely place/environment to raise children.”

“My child has grown a lot, physically and emotionally since starting at Pre-school. Shes much more confident around people she doesn’t know and she has improved a lot in her communication skills.”
