A safe, secure and nuturing environment to ensure children have fun while learning, exploring and fostering friendships.

Attending our preschool offers a smooth and supportive transition into full-time education. Children become familiar with the school environment, routines and staff, which helps them feel more confident and secure when starting Reception. It also allows for continuity in their learning, as teachers can build on the relationships developed in preschool, ensuring a seamless progression and a strong foundation for future learning.

What makes us unique

At Fairfield, we prioritise cultivating success and nurturing self-esteem in every child. In addition to the standard curriculum, we offer enriched opportunities and events that enhance skills, foster a love for learning, and integrate children into the community.

Each year, every year presents a themed performance to their families, aligning with the current class topics. We further enrich our curriculum with engaging trips to places of interest and visits from experts, such as poets/authors, YouTube filming sessions, faith and religious experiences, circus skills, museums, artists, puppet shows, and visits from championship BMW winners and former Team GB competitor. Notably, we wrap up the year with a festive outing to a traditional Christmas Panto at De Montfort Hall.
