From the The Willows Preschool
Beginning in 2004, The Willows Preschool operated out of a classroom at North Bradley Primary School. As a result, there are now solid relationships with the school and a virtually seamless transition from preschool to "big" school.
The Willows relocated to a purpose-built classroom with an outdoor space in the North Bradley Primary School premises in September 2009. This has greatly boosted our resources and potential while allowing us to accommodate more children (and staff) each day. The kids have so much room to move about now that we have free flow play every day.
A volunteer committee, primarily made up of parents, manages The Willows. The committee is in charge of monitoring how the preschool is managed. All parents are welcome to attend the committee meetings that we have on a regular basis. The site's notice boards are continually updated with information about the upcoming committee meeting.
We are registered with Ofsted and part of the Preschool Learning Alliance (PLA).
