The Beacon Pre-School
We are delighted to have established our wonderful pre-school on site at The Beacon C of E Primary School. These pages give an overview of information about how to apply, funded places and paid-for places, childcare vouchers and answer questions about how to join us. For information about what we offer at our Pre-School, please visit this page.
We now take children from the term after they turn 2 and even run holiday club in Partnership with Primary Sports and Education. Hopefully, this will make the childcare juggle a little easier for parents with children at different settings.
Our School runs holiday childcare provision for children from age 2 to the end of the summer holiday in the child’s Reception year. On the school site, working in partnership with Primary Sports and Education we also offer holiday childcare for children from the start of their Year 1 up to around age 12 or 13 years old.
We accept all the various childcare vouchers and pre-school vouchers.
