Welcome to St. Edmund’s Catholic Preschool. On behalf of the staff team, I would like to warmly welcome you to our website. We hope the information you find here will help you to choose the right setting for your child.
If you are the parent or carer of a child who is currently attending, we hope you find what you need to know. In any event, please feel free to email or call us if you need to know more. We welcome your enquiries.
At St Edmund’s Catholic preschool, we want to help your child to reach their full potential and are excited to contribute to the most important stage of their learning journey. Through our approach to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), we will help your child to develop the essential Characteristics of Effective Learning, which will give them the skills they need to be successful, lifelong learners. We work collaboratively with colleagues in school to help your child make a smooth transition to the next stage in their learning and become successful members of the school community...

Thank you for making after school club a fun place to be with different activities and food. Ollie loves the movies and the tent.
Thank you for everything you have done for Jessica this year. She has loved coming to the preschool and looks forward to coming every week. Thanks again for all the care, attention and support.
Thank you so much for all of the help, care and support for Penelope over the past year. She can’t wait to go to ‘big school’ and you have done an excellent job in preparing her for the next step in her learning.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication. Billy has had the most amazing year at pre-school and because of your positivity and care, he is ready for school. He loves you all so much. Thank you!
We just wanted to show our support and Thank You for all your hard work in the forest schools sessions. [My daughter] and I appreciate the wonderful experiences she is provided with in these sessions and fully embrace this opportunity, as we know that not all children are lucky enough to have this. What a great addition to your already enriching delivery of early learning. We think it's well worth the investment in 'outdoor play gear' and working out our routine to maintain it!! Thanks again for your efforts.
