S4YC @ St Chads Preschool & Nursery

Winner of the 2026 "Early Years Educations Award" at Mid Cheshire Education Awards!

Baby Room (0-2 years) – Offering places for up to 6 children, the perfect amount to play and make friends, whilst still maintaining lots of 1-2-1 time with their key person! Children can explore a range of experiences of their choosing, from messy play and creative activities, to snuggling up with stories and songs. The daily routine is simple and flexible to reflect the changing needs of the children, and is designed to foster bonds between children and staff.

Two's Room (2-3 years) - The warm and cosy indoor environments offer a range of activities and experiences designed to excite and engage children of all ages, supported by an experienced and highly qualified staff team. Children benefit from free-flow access to the spacious outdoor area where they can explore nature and learn more about the world around them. Encouraging independence, curiosity and empathy for others is at the heart of St Chads' curriculum and this is reflected within the setting every day.

Preschool Room (3-4 years) – Children are empowered to take control of their own learning by choosing what and how they would like to play, as they are thoughtfully and carefully supported by experienced staff, including qualified teachers. The daily routine is slightly more structured to provide dedicated time for specific teaching, but children still have lots of time to get engrossed in play of their choosing. In the Preschool room, children spend a lot of time outdoors, in all weathers, allowing them to benefit from nature as much as possible. The onsite Forest School provides opportunities for children to explore, take risks and engage with the natural world. The preschool room is located within St Chad's Primary School, leading to fantastic shared learning opportunities as children transition to Reception. Read less
