Pre-School open for 51 weeks of the year. Top Bananas Pre-School comprises of two spacious, light rooms, which are joined by a sensory walk through and an area where children can sit and look at books. There is a wonderful outside area, which is safe and secure. We are very fortunate enough to have the use of the Harbour Hall for very wet and windy days. This will also be the perfect place for the Christmas Play and the School Leavers Graduation. 'Honest Meals' prepare the children's hot lunches. Top Bananas Pre-School aims to: - provide high quality care and education for children; - work in partnership with parents to help children to learn and develop; - add to the life and well-being of the local community; and - offer children and their parents a service that promotes equality and values diversity. Children can Play, Learn and Grow Together. As of September 2019 a Baby and Toddler room opened. This has now created 'Top Bananas Day Nursery'.

The Exploration Room consists of a black and white cosy area, a green leaf cushioned cosy book area (bringing the outside in), a role-play kitchen, dressing up, dolls and accessories, several units with; bricks, blocks, skittles, games, puzzles, small world resources, people and animals. Pop up tents, tunnels play mats and ride on toys are rotated as well as books and other resources (this is to keep the children interested with our wide variety of toys and resources). The Messy Play Room has a low circular and rectangular wooden table with low wooden chairs (this is so the tables are easily accessible for the children to sit at by themselves to encourage independence). A tuff tray is situated on the floor for small world and messy play, so the children can climb in and out and thoroughly explore. Various mark making resources, paints, crayons chalks and many more. A food prep area for serving hot lunch and snacks (where snacks and food is tailored to each child's age and stage of development for example; blending for little ones, to hand held for children that are baby led weaning.

There are fresh blankets and sheets provided to the individual child and washed on a weekly basis. The Little Bananas also have use of the outside area and Harbour Hall.
