Welcome to the Chedworth Pre-School Website

Fun & Learning in a Caring Environment

At Chedworth Pre-School we welcome children and their families to a fun and friendly environment where personal knowledge of the children is a priority.

Our small rural Pre-School was established in 1976 and continues to thrive 40 years on as an integral part of the community.

The Pre-School is based at Chedworth Village Hall, Monday to Friday, and at St Andrew’s School, Chedworth, on Fridays for those pre-schoolers due to start school the following September.

Please explore our website and then come and see our Pre-School in person – we would be delighted to meet you!

What The Parents Say

Highly recommended and a lovely Pre-school. Our daughter loved every minute of being here. Wonderful staff. Lovely clean premises. Great outdoor space. Can’t recommend Chedworth Pre-School enough! 5/5 stars all round.

Annette

As a parent I take huge comfort and pleasure in sending my children to Chedworth Pre School. The staff’s passion and enthusiasm for teaching and the exceptional care they give the children is second to none. My boys are extremely happy pre schoolers and continue to thrive in their development under the guidance and devotion of Ione, Sarah and Claire. I believe Chedworth Pre School sets the bar high, not only for its exceptional commitment to teaching but also for it’s unwavering care for the children it welcomes.

Francesca

My daughter attends Chedworth Pre School and absolutely loves it. The staff are truly phenomenal. They are passionate, enthusiastic and importantly caring. The environment as a result is both nurturing and fun for the children. We have noticed how much our daughter has developed both socially and physically since starting here. She comes home with a real enthusiasm for the things she has learnt and we really couldn’t be happier with our decision to send her to Chedworth Pre School.

Amy

Chedworth Pre-School gave our daughter the best start in her school life we could have hoped for. Ione and her team are wonderfully caring yet highly professional and dedicated to what they do. They get to know each child individually so that they can nurture their interests and grow their confidence during their time at the pre-school. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

Lyra the Guinea pig visits Chedworth Pre-School

Although many children have pets at home in our rural setting, there was great excitement a few weeks ago when Lyra nibbled her way through the Pre-School garden grass. We watched her scurry around and “look at her teeth” said the children. It was a fun way of ending the school term and Read More >
