Farm Experience Club:

Our famous Farm Experience Club gives children the chance to learn in our outdoor classroom, a unique learning environment designed to make learning exciting, hands on, and memorable. With features such as animals, a greenhouse, growing areas, and seasonal activities, children are able to explore, discover, and learn through real experiences in nature. This is something very few early years settings are able to offer. It helps children build confidence, curiosity, practical skills, responsibility, and a strong connection to the world around them.

Wellbeing Club:

Our Wellbeing Club supports children’s health and wellbeing through supplementation, alongside activities and experiences that promote healthy development, self care, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. It is designed to help children feel well, settled, and ready to learn.

2x Hour 3:00pm Top Up:

Our 2x Hour 3:00pm Top Up is designed for parents who would like a 9:00am to 3:00pm arrangement. Children attend the morning session and then stay for an additional 2 privately paid hours, allowing for a 3:00pm collection time. This gives families a clear and flexible option where a later drop off and mid afternoon collection better suits their routine.

Overall Experience

I am so grateful to the staff at this nursery. My great, granddaughter was very tearful and clingy to myself. Now with the staff's commitment and hard work she gets in with a smile and a wave.This nursery is absolutely amazing with wonderful caring staff. The app is also a fantastic way to see what your child has been up to.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience

I have sent all 6 of my children to this preschool over the last 18 years. I would not dream of sending them anywhere else.They are like family. The changes you have made over the years have been tremendous. I am heartbroken my last child will be leaving here soon. The support I have received has been over and above. Des is the best.
