Our Summary
About Us
Kingsway is a committee run pre-school. The staff are dedicated and highly motivated, working in partnership with parents to promote learning through play using a variety of resources and exciting, challenging activities.
We have 2 rooms. The main room is based in an upstairs hall and has a maximum of 26 children per session with 5/6 staff in attendance. Our 2 year old room adjoins the garden on a ground level and provides a smaller more homely room for a maximum of 8 children with 2 adults per morning session.
The age range of the children is 2 years to 5 years. Please see a member of staff for current fees for children not eligible for funding. Fees are payable half-termly or termly in advance.
We are registered with the Pre-School Learning Alliance and Southend Borough Council Early Years Department.
Our OFSTED reports are at hand for you to read, or view online.
What do we do?
Exciting and varied activities are provided inside and out during free play in the first half of the session.
At approx 10.30am we have a circletime. At this time, we sing songs and have discussions with the group.Following this Children are offered milk or water, and a snack.
After circletime, we continue with free play before tidy up time and story/songs with the group.
Lunch for funded Children is at approx 11.45-12.15. Please come in and see us for more information on funded places.
The afternoon session upstairs follows a similar format to the morning with circle and snack at approx 1.30pm.
We arrange trips out to the park, library, beach, woods, fire station and invite visitors to come to us for activities, such as sport, yoga and music.
Registration
The pre-school is registered to accept children between the ages of 2 and 5 years. As part of our admissions procedure all children are required to have completed a registration form, paid the current enrolment fee and shown an original birth certificate.
Once the completed form and fee are received, your Childs details will be added to our list for a place when they are 2 years old.
Please be advised that whilst we endeavour to offer a place to your child at that time there may be a waiting list for places due to high demand.
We operate an open door policy for you and your child to drop in and visit Kingsway prior to their starting date.
We look forward to you and your child joining us at Kingsway.
