Bayford Pre-School provides an exceptional start to your child’s Early Years Education. We care for children from 2 years up to Primary School age.
The Pre-School is an integral part of the community in Bayford and is situated in an excellent location opposite Bayford C of E School. We take great delight in being involved in Bayford School events including the Easter Bonnet Parade, Sports Day, Summer Fair and Christmas and Harvest celebrations.
The sense of family that the team have created at Bayford Pre-School ensures that each child feels valued and we have created a "home from home environment.." We have strong partnerships with parents and welcome their participation in preschool activities whether it is a teddy bears picnic, a Christmas Play or World Book Day event..
We believe that children thrive in a happy, stimulating and nurturing environment. Praise, encouragement and fun in these vital early years of their education allow every child a fulfilling and positive pre-school experience.
Spring Term Topic
This term's topic is 'Weather'.
We will be doing lots of different activities around this topic including looking at different weather elements, the clothing we wear, how it makes us feel. We will be making a rain and snow themed sensory table, rain gauges, windsocks, kites, rainbow activities, weather songs and lots of other fun activities. Please keep a look out for your weekly emails detailing the week’s activities I normally send this on a Friday morning. Don't forget you can see all our activities on our private Facebook page once you have joined the preschool.
Along with the above topic, we will be celebrating World Book Day, Pancake Day and Easter.

“The teams commitment to making this a fabulous place for the children to learn and grow make this my favourite source of childcare.”
"The communication is fantastic. All the staff are very hands on and easy to talk to.”
“There is always something new for the children to explore and always so creative.”
“The learning journal is fantastic so packed full of information. I know that the staff will let me know of any concerns and always supports my child through any issues.”
“Management keep parents well informed and I feel very involved at all times.” “I looked after my boy for two years at home and he has never been left with anyone. The fact that he adores pre-school speaks for itself. I visited 27 nurseries / preschools before I made Bayford my choice."
“I Cannot recommend highly enough, staff informal but professional, ratio of staff / children excellent, facilities fab, but its the people that make the place.”
“Extremely well organised, and play and learning all varied.”
Thank you to the committee and parents who fundraised for our wonderful outside play area with a soft all weather surface and astro turf, our bespoke climbing frame and slide and our playhouse.
This allows the children to utilise the whole of the garden regardless of our weather!
