ABOUT
We are a community preschool with charitable status, owned and run by the parents of the children attending the group. We accept children from 2 years 6 months up to 4 years of age.
Hartwell Pre-School aims to aid the personal, social, physical, creative, emotional, mathematical, moral and cultural development of each individual child. This is gained through planned and co-ordinated play and activities both within the preschool and through arranged outings. With careful supervision our aim is to stimulate and encourage each child to express, explore and discover old and new skills, experiences, interests and achievements at their own pace carried out in a safe, happy and stable environment.
Parental involvement is encouraged, and we will endeavour to keep parents updated on planned activities/outings well in advance to enable feedback and suggestions. Aside from involvement in the activities/outings we welcome any constructive criticism/ideas on ways to improve the preschool generally. We send regular newsletters giving details of forthcoming events/activities and the outcome of past events as well as any other relevant and interesting information.
It is through the continual assessment and improvement of the management of the preschool that the development and quality of future pre-school care for our children is assured.
We are able to offer access and prior arrangements to children with special needs.
Pre School works within an equal opportunities policy.

Our Philosophy
We believe that each child is a unique individual and that all children can learn. Our preschool programs provide inclusive settings that recognize children's varied abilities, interests, needs, and learning styles.
We believe children learn best through meaningful play. Our play-based, child centred program reflects the integration of physical, cognitive, social, emotional, language, self-help and aesthetic areas for the total development of the child. Meaningful play encourages curiosity, discovery and problem solving which allows individual growth and development of a positive self-image.
We recognize that parents are the child's first teachers. Children learn best when parents are involved in their educational program. The primary bridge between home and school is the involvement of family and community.
Health & Safety
We believe that the health and safety of children is of paramount importance. We make our setting a safe and healthy place for children, parents, staff, and volunteers.
We aim to make children, parents, staff, and volunteers aware of health and safety issues and to minimise the hazards and risks to enable the children to thrive in a healthy and safe environment.
Our induction training for staff and volunteers includes a clear explanation of health and safety issues, so that all adults can adhere to our policy and procedures as they understand their shared responsibility for health and safety. The induction training covers matters of employee well-being, including safe lifting and the storage of potentially dangerous substances.
