A Very Warm Welcome to Fairfield Preschool 

For children aged 3-4  •  Term time only  •  Flexible hours  •  Funded Hours
Our vision at Fairfield preschool is to provide a fun, engaging, and safe environment for your child to learn, grow and develop through play-based learning. Our stimulating environment develops confidence, creativity and discovery inside and outside the classroom.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum framework in order for your child to build skills in all seven areas of learning. This then readies them with the foundations for starting Reception and beyond. 

Learning is personalised, and our excellent staff are dedicated to observing and stimulating each child’s development, interests, and progress, alongside nurturing your child’s social development and building independence. 

We believe that education starts in the home so we look to encourage families to form good relationships with us at our setting. We involve parents in their child’s development every step of the way.

Having our preschool alongside a primary school offers several benefits: 

Smooth Transition: Children become familiar with the environment, staff, and routines early on, making the transition to primary school easier and less stressful.
Continuity in Education: Staff better understand each child’s learning journey from preschool through primary school, allowing for more personalized and consistent support.
Aligned Curriculum: Preschool and primary school staff collaborate to ensure that the early years curriculum aligns well with what children will encounter in primary school, supporting a cohesive educational experience.
Early Identification of Needs: Having educators who can observe a child over multiple years allows for early identification of learning or developmental needs, enabling timely interventions.

How do I claim the 15 funded hours?
The 15 funded hours are universal for all 3 and 4 year olds, so there is no application process involved. We just need your child’s birth certificate and get you to complete a Parental Statement of Undertaking (PSOU) form.

30 hours funded childcare - check if you’re eligible
The extended entitlement is intended to support working parents with the cost of childcare and enable them to return to work or to work additional hours. Working parents who meet the criteria can get 30 hours per week (for up to 38 weeks per year, a total of 1140 hours) of funded childcare.
