From the Lowson Street Pre-School
Children ages 2 to 4 can receive care and instruction at Lowson Street Pre School. We are completely registered with Ofsted. We are dedicated to giving your child the best start possible in a loving and welcoming setting while adhering to the Early Years Foundation Stage. The environment provides a free-flow system that lets your child choose and grow autonomously based on their own interests, whether they prefer the indoors or outdoors environment. We were fortunate to obtain "Early Excellence" tools, which have encouraged a lot of discovery and aided in the development of our kids. Our outdoor space offers a wealth of learning opportunities. The indoor setting is designed to make the kids feel content, safe, and self-assured. They have use of all the available resources. Any observations will be stored in each child's learning journey folder, which is assigned to a specific Key Person. Parents are asked to look over and discuss their child's experiences and interests. Our planning is based on the children's observations, and we make an effort to accommodate each child's particular interests. However, we also urge the kids to participate in a variety of other seasonal topics. At Lowson Street, we take an open-door policy and always make sure to be reachable for parent-teacher conferences every day.
