Upottery Pre-school CIO

Upottery Pre-school CIO We are a small, friendly pre-school in Upottery, East Devon. We accept children from 18 months old until they start primary school.

The Pre-School was built over 30 years ago as a result of the generosity and hard work of local people and has been part of the community ever since. We are located in the centre of the village of Upottery, near Honiton in East Devon and our pre-school operates from a self-contained building in the grounds of Upottery Primary School. We actively encourage outdoor play and are lucky to have two out

door areas for our children - one of these is a soft tarmac area with a wooden playhouse and the other is a grassed area with wooden play equipment (lottery funded in 2014), a sandpit, bird-feeding area and areas to grow plants. The pre-school serves the local community of Upottery and surrounding villages of Luppitt, Rawridge, Yarcombe, Dunkeswell and Churchinford. We also have some children from Honiton. Our staff offer individual care and attention to all the children in a supportive and friendly environment where your child can play and enjoy the early years of their learning. Our last Ofsted inspection took place in 2018 and we were awarded a 'good' status. The report said 'Children are happy and well behaved, with good self-esteem. The effective key-person system helps children to settle in. They quickly develop very good relationships with staff and each other, helping them to feel emotionally secure'.

📁 Office rearrangement! 📁
Hi everyone! We hope you’re all enjoying the summer break. ☀️
We’re currently rearranging our office and are on the lookout for a lockable 2-drawer filing cabinet. If anyone has one they no longer need and would be happy to donate or sell to us, please get in touch.
Thank you!

We have this afternoon been gifted this amazing Paw Patrol tower and it just so happens we had a big bag of rice to help turn it into a builders yard. We think the children are going to love this tomorrow! Thank you so much to the lovely family who passed this on to us.

In pre-school this morning we have noticed a few of our pre-schoolers may have possible enclosure schemas. Schemas are repeated patterns of action that children may show as they are exploring the world and trying to find out how things work. As a pre-school we try and support and provide resources to aid children's schemas as this can facilitate children's cognitive, physical and emotional development.

We are incredibly lucky to have a strong connection to our on site school. Some of our leavers joined in the games at Sports Day. We had a brilliant morning, and it was wonderful to see the children having so much fun while getting a taste of school life. This sports day was one of many transition visits our preschoolers have been taking part in. Others have included visits to the church, assembly and regular visits to the school.
