About Community Kids Pre-School

We pride ourselves in providing a safe and happy environment where learning is a joyful and rewarding experience. We work alongside the statutory framework, Early Years Foundation Stage, to support children’s learning and development. We use encouragement and praise in work and play, which are the foundations for building self-esteem and confidence.

A Day in the Life of Community Kids Preschool Children

We sing our good morning song to greet all the children in. Then we count to see how many children and adults we have. After this we have a quick discussion about what we may be up to for the day

Here at Community Kids we offer a range of opportunities for all children to explore, develop and prepare for School. We do this through lots of play incorporated with child and adult led activities.

All children have access to all toys and equipment in the building. But being different ages we ensure different age appropriate activities and help are provided. For the 2 year olds we are able to do nappies, aid them in toilet training, alongside parents and if they need a little sleep, create a cozy little area for them to rest.

The 3 year olds, being the middle age of the preschool, are able to mix with both the younger and older ages. This means they have a real variety in groups to play with, friends to make and activities they can join in with.

For the 4 year olds, children who will soon go to school ‘Rising 4’s’, We focus on those all important hand and finger muscles by doing ‘Pre school magic movements’ where they have activities to strengthen their hands and finger’s including exercises for gross and fine motor skills. We use play dough with dough disco, pushing, pulling and poking. We have busy boards in the outside area with door handles, bolts, padlocks, light switches and zips, these all help to increase our muscles and assist us with day to day things. Dressing and undressing is also a great way to test the finger muscles. We are located next to Bruton Primary School and have fantastic links with them. This helps the children become familiar and comfortable in the school environment supporting their transitions.

As an extra addition we currently offer hot meals for the children which are supplied by Sexeys school just up the road, you can also supply a packed lunch if you prefer.

We also have a Breakfast club and Afterschool club for children aged 2-11. We collect them from Bruton primary school and bring them back to Community Kids, or in the summer term if the weather is nice we stay on the school field to let them run after a busy day.

Most importantly we pride ourselves on enthusiastic and caring staff who offer a welcoming, safe and friendly setting for all children and families. Our children are happy, busy, and stimulated. They love being here and come racing in through the door!
