Downham Preschool Downham Pre-School was originally established in 1985 and was registered in 1992 on the Early Years Register and both parts of the Childcare Register.

The pre-school is managed by the Directors of the Downham School. The pre-school operates from within the old Downham Village School building. Children have access to two playrooms, suitable toilet facilities and an enclosed outdoor play area. The premises are situated on the main street of the village of Downham, close to Clitheroe in Lancashire. The pre-school operates each weekday, from 9am until 3pm, during term time only. Children attend for a variety of sessions. The pre-school employs seven practitioners, including the manager who holds a level 3 qualification. All other practitioners hold appropriate qualifications, from level 2 to level 5. The pre-school provides funded education for two-, three-and four-year-old children. The pre-school has received the Step into Quality Award and the Lancashire Quality Award

Thursdays = SportsCool

We absolutely love our Thursday mornings with Jamie Thoburn. The children greet him with such excitement and engage throughout. We take part in colour focused physical games, have fun with cones, practice animal yoga and most importantly … pester Jamie! I think you can tell with the smiles on their faces how much they enjoy the sessions.

Thank you Coach Jamie!

We had the best time at our first Autumn session with coach Jamie from SportsCool. The children jumped right into the adventure - driving their cars through the wild jungle, beeping at the animals and transforming into brave pirates on the hunt for treasure! We wrapped up our high energy morning with some yoga. Thank you Coach Jamie for such an imaginative and active session. The children can’t wait for next time 😊

We’ve had a busy couple of weeks!

Coach Jamie has started coming to do sports with us on Wednesdays and we all love him! ⚽️ 🎾 🏃

We have been learning about mini beasts and now have a bug hotel outside - we are carefully re-locating any bugs we find when we are playing outside 🐛 🐜 🐞

It was a fundraising fancy dress day yesterday and we raised money for Crackerjacks children’s charity, don’t we all look great?!

Finally, we had a very special visitor on the wall this morning while we were playing outside, a lizard we named Liz! 🦎

Have a great weekend everyone!

Our Pre-schoolers had a great morning at The Nest Farm School on Wednesday! 🐷 🐔 🐑 🐰

Something special happened in Pre School this morning 🐣

Excitement was in the air as Gemma brought in our newly hatched chicks! We made them a fresh bed, made sure they had food and water, and somewhere warm and comfy to sleep.

We sat quietly, holding them gently and have been checking them to make sure they are all settled in. They are very noisy! 🐥
