Meet The Team

The Team...

Our dedicated team of Early Years Educators are passionate about providing a nurturing and enriching environment for all children at The Lenches Pre-School.


We follow the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, our committed staff create engaging activities and play-based learning opportunities that stimulate children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning from an early age.


Our range of activities and opportunities for children aim to enhance their communication and language skills, physical abilities, as well as developing personal, social, and emotional growth.  Focussing on key areas such as literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design, children form strong relationships at the Lenches Pre-School, both with their peers and with our staff, enhancing a sense of belonging and community.


The Lenches Pre-School is committed to providing a safe and stimulating space for children to thrive and reach their full potential.
