Innsworth Preschool has been part of the Gloucester community for more than 30 years, providing children aged two to four with a safe, caring and inspiring start to early education.
Family owned and proudly independent, the preschool offers a warm and welcoming environment built around the values that matter most to parents: care, trust, stability and personal attention. As a smaller setting, it provides a calmer and more personal alternative to larger nurseries, where every child is known, valued and supported as an individual.
Children benefit from a large, well equipped outdoor space and daily opportunities for fresh air, play and exploration in a secure environment. A key feature of the setting is its famous Farm Experience outdoor classroom, a unique learning environment designed to make learning exciting, hands on and memorable. With animals, a greenhouse, growing areas and seasonal outdoor activities, children enjoy experiences that very few early years settings are able to offer. This helps them build confidence, curiosity, practical skills, responsibility and a strong connection to the natural world.
Experienced and qualified staff focus on helping children develop the social, emotional and early learning skills needed for a smooth transition into school. The preschool offers morning and afternoon funded sessions, optional meals and enhancement clubs, giving families flexibility and children access to a broader preschool experience. Innsworth Preschool also offers a New Starters Service for children aged two and for children joining an early years setting for the first time, helping to create a gentler and more settled transition into preschool life.
With a strong family ethos and more than 30 years serving the local community, Innsworth Preschool is a place where children can feel happy, secure and ready to thrive.

My little Boy started at Innsworth pre school in September 2025. He absolutely loves it and seems to be learning a great deal. The staff are all very lovely, and Des goes out of her way to help where possible. It's lovely to have a setting where the children are put first. They have had lots of work done recently, both inside and outside, and it is all looking lovely.

Where do I even begin? Innsworth Pre-School has been absolutely fantastic. Since our son started in August 2024, we've been so impressed with how well he has settled and how much he looks forward to going each day. The regular updates, photos, and messages mean so much to us as parents-we really feel involved in his day and can see just how much care and attention he receives. In such a short space of time, the progress he has made has been incredible. His vocabulary has grown, his confidence has blossomed, and he absolutely loves the engaging activities and play opportunities offered. It's clear that the staff put their heart into creating a warm, stimulating, and supportive environment.
Thank you to the entire team for being so wonderful. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and we're truly grateful for everything you do.
Just one suggestion- may be a buggie parking area outside building would be amazing.
