Parents are welcome to make a preliminary visit to see Pre-School and Nursery, to view the setting in practice and to gain an understanding of what Tilehouse Street Pre-School and Nursery can provide for you and your child. We recommend bringing your child to see how they interact with the setting and staff. We want this to be a positive first impression for your child. Most do not want to leave and are excited about returning to their ‘new’ school. 

We love to hear from you!

To help children settle into the Pre-School and Nursery routines, we require children to attend a minimum of 2 sessions a week and at least 2 different days. Of course, children can attend as many sessions as you wish, subject to availability.

As part of the Pre-School and Nursery’s policy to make sure that its provision meets the needs of each individual child, we take account of any special needs or disabilities which a child may have. We therefore work to the requirements of the 1993 Education Act and the Special Needs Code of Practice (2014). The Pre-School’s Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinator is Mrs. Karen Harvey (karen.harvey@thpsn.org.uk)
