Millies Preschool

Spaces available for September!

That’s a wrap for our class of 2026! We will miss you all and have loved teaching each and every one of you. We wish you the best of luck in your new schools and every thing you do in life. Have a lovely summer!

This week Millies has had some messy play fun. The children used shaving foam to mark make on trays. They found number on shells and identified the numbers then attempted to write the numbers in the foam. They worked on quantities by finding other shells which added up to the number they had found.

This week cars were used for mark making. Pencils were stuck onto the back of it and the children pushed them along to create pictures.

Here is a little snapshot of our preschool space. We boast a large outdoor space with lots of different equipment used each day. We also have a canopy area for shelter and during the hot periods we use beach tents around the garden and umbrellas to create shade.
Indoors we ensure there are always books and mark making activities available as well as a craft station and painting area.
We create various role play areas and messy play areas. There are always small world toys, construction toys and mathematics activities laid out each session.
We encourage the children to be as independent as possible and like to allow them to make various choices throughout the day. We have a free-flow environment, meaning they can choose to play indoors or outdoors.
When the children come in they are encouraged to place their bags on a peg of their choosing and are helped to find their name card to go above this. They are then invited to find a block with their name on to vote for which story they would like to be read at story time that day. The children really enjoy seeing the towers and checking which is taller to see the winning story for that day.
We believe that reading to children is very important to help expand their vocabulary, develop speech and language skills and to begin to recognise letters. There are so many benefits to reading with children that go beyond these such as developing their memories and allowing them to relax. As we feel this is so important for children we provide a book folder. This folder contains a book to take home and some information for each parent. Once each child is finished with their book they can bring their folder in and will be able to choose a new story to take home from our mini library.

Millies made scarecrows this term to help with St Mildreds garden area. We placed on in our plot in the communal garden and have given the other 2 to the church to decide where they need them most! The children did great work stuffing the scarecrows with straw and helping to tie on their clothes and decorate their faces.
The children decided which materials they wanted to use for hair and which expressions they wanted the scarecrows to have.
