At St. Anne's Great Eccleston Copp Pre-School, we prepare your child for their future school journey, giving them the best start to their education. Our aim is to transition children into school as happy, confident and independent learners.

We are a teacher-led setting and can offer our children an inspiring and fun-filled Early Years curriculum. We have a large classroom, our own outdoor learning area and use of the school’s facilities, such as the wildlife area, trim-trail, large playing field and sports hall.

Our children have full access to the indoor and outdoor area throughout the day. This free-flow play environment offers a rich learning experience for children. It allows them to progress at their own, individual pace and develop independence in their learning.

We work closely alongside you as parents and carers, ensuring that you feel informed and involved in your child’s early education. Each of our children is allocated a Key Person who will encourage and extend their learning experiences. Their role is to ensure that your child feels happy, secure and well cared for, whilst developing important key skills, in a stimulating and nurturing environment.

We understand that starting school is a huge step for little feet. At St. Anne's Great Eccleston Copp Primary  Pre-School, it is our priority to prepare your child for the next stage in their learning journey. They will develop the social skills, communication skills and independence they need for a successful transition to school. 

STORY DOUGH 

In Pre-School, staff run pop-up Story Dough.  This is an immersion into the magic world of story dreaming with small groups of children. 

Using the medium of playdough, Story Dough! tips children into landscape of nonsense, rhyme, language, delicious vocabulary, mark making, make-believe, mathematics and story. Its scope is unlimited.   The activity takes just 10 minutes and we are guaranteed to see a flock of children eager to secure a place around the Story Dough! table.
