Our Pre-school started as the local playgroup more than 40 years ago and as demand increased the pre-school changed to a charity run pre-school, registered with Ofsted in 1989.
In 2014 on the advice of The Charity Commission we changed our legal status to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) giving more protection to those overseeing the running of the pre-school. We are registered to take up to 24 children from 2 years old to school age. We have good links with Appleton Thorn Primary School and their link club as well as local childminders.
Many of our children have formed early friendships at the Pre-school and have carried it on through primary and secondary education as well as into later adult life.
We pride ourselves in being part of Appleton Thorn community taking part in the local Bawming Day event and regularly attend Praise and Play organised by St. Cross Parish Church where we have our annual Nativity Play.
