Newtown Community Preschool Exeter

Early Funding for 2 year olds

If you have a child that is 2 or under and you are not eligible for the working entitlement funding you may be eligible for the Early Funding for 2 year olds from Devon County Council.

DCC are encouraging all parents to register their information on the portal to ensure that families are not missing out on funding they may be entitled to.

Delicious as they are, please be aware that mini eggs are not suitable for young children. They are just the right size to block their narrower airways – this can lead to a risk of choking and a child being unable to breathe.

For advice on how to keep your little ones safe when eating, head over to the Child Accident Prevention Hub website: https://capt.org.uk/choking-prevention/

Rainbows welcomes all girls from 4 to 7 years old to laugh, learn and have fun in a creative safe space.
Rainbows will laugh, sing and make a happy mess (and help clear it up!) as they choose their way through our programme of activities.
Your child will have plenty of magic moments: they might become a time traveller, an animal tracker, a pop singer, a stargazer. It’s a wonderful world of adventure just for them.

We've been out and about listening to see if we can hear the sounds of Spring - why not join us and see what you discover?
