Welcome to Pinvin Community
Pre-school

Firstly, we would like to warmly welcome you and your child to our preschool family, where we want children to feel safe and loved, gain confidence, and grow their own curiosity of the world.

We understand that starting pre-school is a very important milestone for you and your child, both an exciting yet sometimes daunting time and want to work with you to make this a home-from-home environment.

This website hopefully gives you a good insight into the wonder of Early Years.

Ofsted Report

About our setting

Pinvin Community Pre-school was established back in 1992, when local lady, Sue, was trying to find childcare for her own family, after not finding anything suitable she set up a small playgroup running from a shed. Over the years Pinvin Community Pre-school has evolved and moved from a mother and toddler group to where we are today.

We run from the heart of the village in Pinvin Memorial Hall directly opposite Pinvin first school surrounded by an abundance of local walks and natural resources to explore. We are a full pack-away setting, which means that at the end of every day, all resources and furniture are packed away to allow for the village hall to be used by other hirers. Each day resources are selected based on the needs of the children in that day.

Pinvin Community Pre-school is a registered charity (700766), governed by a committee of elected trustees who support the manager and their team in the short and long-term goals of the pre-school. We are Ofsted registered (205324).

We are here to support all areas of their learning against the Early Years Foundation Stage (2021) and to also support you with the challenging role of raising children in an ever changing world.

It is our belief that for children to learn and experience good mental health and well-being they need to feel safe and secure in their environment. We value getting outdoors whatever the weather, filling our lungs with fresh air, moving our bodies and becoming at one with nature.
