Clapham Preschool Prospectus

Clapham Preschool is a busy, thriving, local preschool. The preschool takes pride in offering early years care and education in a friendly, caring, welcoming and stimulating environment which values diversity and works in partnership with parents.

Clapham Preschool offers sessional and day care in a setting that has been established as part of the community since 1971. We have been in our new building since 4th July 2011.

Our Aims

Clapham Preschool aims to provide high quality, welcoming care and education and access to everyone in our community. We aim to create a secure, stimulating and happy environment, providing a range of activities which encourage children to make choices, develop and learn new skills, become independent, whilst co-operating with others and learning through play.

We also aim to build positive relationships with all our children and their families so that children feel safe, secure and confident. Our role as Early Years Practitioners is to support children’s ideas and interests, encouraging them to become independent thinkers and build on their self-esteem.

Our Commitments

We are committed to promoting equality of opportunity for all our children, regardless of their race, gender, culture or disability.

Clapham Preschool is committed to promoting racial equality and harmony. We expect everyone who is a part of, or who visits the Preschool, to support this commitment both in the way they act and in the words they use.

We are also committed to offering children with special educational needs the opportunity to experience Preschool education in an inclusive practice.

We Are A Charitable Organisation

We are a charitable organisation, managed by a committee of enthusiastic parent volunteers and have the advantage of our own purpose built facility, located in the centre of Clapham village, next to the villagehall.
