Working Together
·        We believe that parents are their child’s first educators and value the knowledge that they have.
·        Parent/Carer ideas for planning are valued and their help in sessions is always welcomed.
·        Every child has a learning journey folder, which we encourage children and parents to contribute to and look at regularly.
·        Our behaviour code reminds everyone about rules for safety and respect. We always work with parents to promote positive behaviour.
·        Every child has a key person. We aim to work in partnership with parents/carers and other professionals, to ensure that every child reaches their full potential.

Preschool
Churchdown Parton Manor Preschool is a welcoming and vibrant preschool that looks to create children who are confident, creative and independent learners. We work hard to ensure children feel safe and secure and have an effective and motivated start to their educational life. 
Otters Class
Bursting to the brim with learning and fun experiences is our 3 and 4 year olds’ room. There is lots to be done in Preschool and plenty of learning to squeeze into a busy year ready for that move to ‘big school’. The children are learning to be sociable and confident, how to communicate with others and become individual and independent little humans. Alongside the important academic subjects such as Maths and English, we like to explore the community and the natural world as much as possible. 
Beavers Class
***We are delighted to share the return of our 2 and 3 year old class in September 2025 after a year off. We are also excited to share that we will now be offering all day sessions for Beavers class as well as Otters from 2 years old. We accept the new 30 hours funding, available to eligible parents with children 9 months and up, as well as paid for spaces.***
A busy yet creative and productive room full of fantastic learning and entertainment, our 2 and 3 year olds are sure to keep the fun going with their singing and dancing and excellent story telling. With a focus on the characteristics of effective learning the children take on skills of how to learn through play, develop confidence and independence, and make new friends, giving them the strongest start to their school life.
‘Children learn the curriculum through a carefully designed balance of direct teaching, playing and exploring. Through these activities, children develop curiosity and learn to think creatively.’ Ofsted 2024
