Welcome

At Upottery Pre-school CIO we welcome children from 18 months old.
​Our team offer individual care and attention in a supportive and friendly environment
​where your child can play and enjoy the early years of their learning.

Our last Ofsted inspection took place in April 2024 and we were delighted to be awarded 'Outstanding'.
​The report said 'Children flourish in this extremely welcoming and warm pre-school'. 
'Parents truly value the care and learning experiences their children receive'.

The full report is available via the Ofsted website -  Find an Ofsted inspection report

Main Building
The main Pre-School building was built over 40 years ago as a result of the generosity and hard
work of local people and has been part of the community ever since.
​
The building consists of a large open plan room with purposeful spaces including:-

Cosy reading area
Cloakroom/Reception
Bug Rug for story time
Messy play space - for arts and crafts
Snack Table
Washing-up area
Multiple tuff trays 
Children's W.C (complete with miniature toilets)
Smart Screen 
Jungle themed quiet room

We have an extensive range of toys including role play, fancy dress, puzzles, building blocks,
small world and an accessible art area. 

In addition there is a kitchen and W.C available to staff only. 
 ​
Outdoor play 
We actively encourage outdoor play and are lucky to have two outdoor areas for our children -
one of these is a soft tarmac area with a wooden playhouse and
secondly a grassed area with wooden play equipment, a sandpit, bird-feeding area and areas to grow plants.
Recently, we have installed planters on the tarmac area to help children understand the life cycle of plants
and how to care for them. 

Forest School 
We are lucky to have weekly access to the large forest school located in the beautiful grounds of
Upottery Primary School. Please see Forest school tab for full details.
