About us

A community pre-school in the heart of Wigmore

We are a registered charity run by a committee of parents, staff and supporters, based at Newlands Church on Crawley Green Road.

Our aims

Our pre-school aims to provide a happy, caring and safe environment in which each child gains confidence and learns to relate to other children and adults around them.

We have a well-qualified team of staff who provide high-quality care and education for children below statutory school age. We are part of Luton Early Years, registered with Ofsted and members of the Early Years Alliance. The pre-school is in the Wigmore area of Luton and provides quality, affordable childcare to our local community. We are close to a major bus route and have a car park.

How we work

  • Child-centred. Lots of high-quality time between adults and children, with activities built around what your child enjoys.
  • A key person for every child. They get to know your family and keep in touch through key person booklets.
  • EYFS. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and record learning in the Tapestry app, which you can view at home.
  • Progress check at two. You get a written progress check between 24 and 36 months.
  • Inclusion. We value diversity, promote equality and have a dedicated SENCo.

Join our committee

Our volunteer committee meets once each half term. New members are always welcome and no experience is needed. An enhanced DBS check is required.

SEND & inclusion

Ofsted described our support for children with special educational needs as a strength. Read about our SEND support.

Settling in

Starting pre-school, gently

Settling-in sessions

You stay for several sessions before leaving your child, so they meet the room and the staff gradually.

What to bring

A named bag with spare clothes, plimsolls or trainers, nappies and wipes if needed, a packed lunch and a labelled snack pot. A comfort toy is welcome.

Lunch & snacks

Packed lunch is from 12 to 12.30. We offer milk or water at snack time. Please no nuts, eggs, sweets, crisps or sugary drinks.
