Welcome To Patcham Village Pre-School

At Patcham Village Pre-school we truly believe that a child's sense and view  of themselves shape their lives.  Central to children's development is self-regulation and executive function; translated into practice this is the ability for children to focus their attention and thinking, monitoring and adapting what they are doing and bouncing back when things don't always pan out as they'd planned or are simply more challenging and difficult then first thought.  The ability to regulate behaviour and strong feelings while all the time being patient and waiting for what we want is a life skill.    At Patcham Village Preschool we aim to give every child in our care a strong belief in knowing they 'can do it' not necessarily 'yet' but one day soon; 'a growth mindset';  Encouraging and supporting children to develop a  growth mindset is firmly embedded in Patcham Village Pre-school's ethos in all that we do. 

Our holistic approach to childcare and education ensures that every child’s learning reflects and encompasses their individual interests within a play-based learning environment which is thoughtfully and carefully prepared by our highly qualified experienced and mature staff team.

In following the guidance of the Early Years Foundation Stage we adopt different approaches to learning – Adult-supported/led focussed activities as well as 'In the Moment Planning' that which is spontaneous with no forward planning and comes from the child.  By taking a bit of each of the different approaches we have created at Patcham Village Pre-school the very best early years experience for our children.
