From the Little Bears Pre School
I'm pleased and ecstatic to be a part of the CIO and team at Little Bears Preschool.
In order to ensure that we continue to receive the Outstanding designation from Ofsted, I am excited to support this wonderful organisation.
I want to personally thank Jane, Vicky, Jill, and Linda for everything they do and the positive energy they bring to the pre-school. Little Bears is fortunate to have such a dedicated, energetic team working hard every day to provide the greatest childcare in Devon.
Children from the age of two until they begin school can receive sessional care at Little Bears Pre School.
Every Wednesday from 9.30 to 11.30 during the school year, we also have a toddler stay and play programme for children ages 0 to 3.
We provide a wide choice of engaging activities and an engaging environment for kids to explore and learn through play.
All of this is covered by your hourly rate.
The majority of the children who are old enough transfer from our preschool to Shebbear Community School, which is located on the same grounds as us.
For additional details on the school, go here.
A registered charity, Little Bears Pre-school has been around for more than 30 years.
We are situated on the safe grounds of the neighbourhood school in the centre of Shebbear Village.
The Pre-school happily received a result of good in our most recent Ofsted report and is registered with the agency.
According to the report, Little Bears Pre-school offers a high-quality nursery education that helps kids achieve excellent progress in all six learning domains.
Since September 2001, I have worked at Little Bears Pre-school, and I still enjoy working with children as much as I did when I first started.
