Welcome to our Cliffe Pre-School website.

Cliffe Pre-School is a friendly and caring preschool situated in the heart of our community. We are registered with Ofsted to provide term-time sessions for children aged 2-5 years old. We are a registered charity and non-profit making organisation run by a voluntary management committee of parents and a highly qualified and dedicated team of staff. We provide a safe, caring and secure environment which meets all the collective, and individual, needs of the children in our care.

At Cliffe Pre-School, we believe that children learn best through play and first hand experiences. We therefore offer an exciting range of activities for children to discover and explore, from mark-making and messy play to construction and ICT. We have an extensive outdoor space which we make make full use of through out the year! Using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) as a framework, we provide opportunities for the children to develop their skills, knowledge and attitudes, building on the children's interests and abilities.

We are also very proud of our strong links with Cliffe VC Primary School, which successfully support the children in their transition to school.

Located in the heart of the village, Cliffe Preschool aims to:

• Provide quality care and education for preschool children and support their families
• Create a developmentally appropriate curriculum to meet the needs of each individual child in order to meet the early learning goals of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework
• Offer a welcoming, relaxed and friendly atmosphere where children can play and make friends
• Provide great transitional links with Cliffe Primary School
