Welcome to Barlow Pre-school

Barlow Pre-school is a non profit-making charitable organisation with professional full time staff and run by a committee of parents. 

As an approved Early Years Education Establishment we receive funding from Derbyshire County Council Education Service for 3 and 4 year olds, but depend heavily on the participation of parents to support our staff and raise the essential additional funding required to make our Pre-School the best possible environment for the children to learn and play.

In addition to parents, our fundraising effort is generously supported by members of the Barlow community and local businesses.

We would like to welcome you and your child to Barlow Pre-school. The website is designed to provide some basic information about us, although further details of our policies are contained in the Barlow Pre-school Operating Policies and Practices folder held at the Pre-school. You are also invited to ask the staff or committee members for any further information.

Aims

The aims of Barlow Pre –school are:

To offer Pre-school care and education that is affordable and accessible to all

To maintain high quality pre-school care and education

To ensure we have ongoing excellent staff and educational resources

Maximise opportunities to extend and improve the pre-school building and play area

To sustain the long term future of the pre-school by maintaining links to the wider community

Barlow Pre-school aims to provide a happy, caring and stimulating environment for your child. By providing such an environment, your child will be motivated to learn and develop linguistically, intellectually, physically and socially from play-based activities, while working towards the early learning goals.

Through interaction with adults and other children our hope is that your child will develop a wealth of early learning skills and social skills, which will allow for a smooth and confident transition to primary school.

We also acknowledge and respect the parents/carers role in a child’s early development and aim to work in partnership with you to make your child’s time at Barlow Pre-school a successful and enjoyable experience.
