St Barnabas Pre-School

Our community-based Pre-school is held in the hall of St Barnabas Church, Queens Park. Established in 1969 we have strong links with the local area and enjoy an excellent reputation. Our welcoming, friendly and experienced staff offer first class care and education for your child's early years, in a safe, nurturing environment, allowing them to play, learn and grow. Our aim is to ensure your child is ready and raring to go for when they reach school age. We are passionate about being an inclusive setting and truly value every child. We have qualified SEND team who will work alongside families to create a safe, enabling environment for children with additional needs or SEND. Children with additional needs or SEND will have regular 'individual learnings plans' put in place to ensure they are making progress and being supported effectively. This will allow us to give the best possible care to the child.
