Mortimer Hall Pre-School provides high quality care and education for children below statutory school age. We place a strong emphasis on providing a wealth of interesting activities and offer large indoor and outdoor spaces for children to further their learning. We work in partnership with parents and the local primary school to help us produce good outcomes for children.
We operate a key person system and place high importance on building the relationship between each child and their key person We have been praised by Ofsted for the “very warm attachments between children and staff”.
We add to the life and well-being of the local community and offer children and their parents a service that promotes equality and values diversity.
