Little Acers Preschool - Engaging Young Minds, Nurturing Bright Futures where little trees grow into mighty oaks
Welcome to Little Acers Preschool at Lea and Garsdon
Thank you for your interest in Little Acers Preschool, nestled in the picturesque North Wiltshire countryside, just a stone’s throw away from Lea and Garsdon C of E Primary School. Our warm and welcoming setting is the perfect place for 2-5-year-olds to take their first steps on an incredible journey of learning and discovery.
Total Commitment to Your Child
At Little Acers, we believe in the power of nurturing and encouraging each child’s unique potential. Your child’s safety, happiness, and growth are our top priorities, with effective safeguarding at the heart of everything we do. We go the extra mile to ensure their wellbeing, providing not only a stimulating learning environment but also wrap-around care with breakfast and after-school clubs, ensuring their time with us is truly enriching and fulfilling.
Embracing Transition with Care
We take pride in our seamless transition strategy, preparing your little acers for the next exciting chapter in their lives – Reception Class. Our focus on fostering independence, self-help skills, coping with change, and building self-esteem ensures a smooth and confident move.
Learning Through Play
Immersive experiences foster a love for learning and a profound connection with the world. Little Acers embark on a journey of exploration, becoming experts in understanding season changes and observing the fascinating world of insects and birds. They also naturally develop leadership skills while embracing challenges, creating and building dens, participating in outdoor games, and cherishing storytelling amidst the beauty of nature.
Eco-friendly
By using natural resources and steering away from plastic as much as possible also helps the environment. 90% of children’s toys are still manufactured using plastic, with a lot of this plastic not suitable for recycling. We really want to help reduce this figure, most of our resources are natural products or donated plastic toys to help the environment. A plastic toy can last a long time (or more often not) but when it comes to the end of its life it will join the 6.3 billion tons of plastic waste we already have on our planet.
Our Mission
The Little Acers Mission
We are committed to the wellbeing and development of our Little Acers, working hand in hand with children, parents, and the community to ensure their rights and safety and to lay the foundation for a bright and promising future.
Our approach to education is built upon the core values of independence, self-help skills, resilience, and self-esteem, providing essential transition strategies that prepare our children for their exciting journey from Preschool to School. Daily immersion in the Primary School surroundings, interacting with staff and older children, fosters a seamless move and eases the process of transition, instilling them with confidence and excitement for the next phase of their lives.
Our Mission Is Driven by These Core Principles:
Curiosity-driven Learning: Guided by the Birth to Five Matters Curriculum, we believe in the power of play as a gateway to boundless learning. Our passion lies in nurturing each child’s potential, ensuring they embark on their journey to school with fond memories, a love for learning, and a strong sense of the world around them.
Skills for Life: We support children through their journey from Preschool to School through transition strategies that foster independence, self-help skills, adaptability and self-esteem and empower children to thrive in life and learning.
Building A Vibrant Family: Little Acers Preschool celebrates the beauty of togetherness, creating a warm and inclusive environment that extends to both our children and their families.
