Here at Chipperfield Preschool and Out-of-School Care we are committed to providing high quality experiences for children aged 2 – 11 years. Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of every child we care for is the thread that runs through every thing we do and providing for each child's individual needs ensures that every child thrives.
Our experienced and caring team create a stimulating and nurturing ‘home from home’ environment in which all the children learn and develop. Our aim is for children to be strong, independent and able to express their thoughts, feelings and needs in a loving and stimulating environment. We believe in supporting children’s physical and emotional wellbeing through engagement with the outdoor environment through all-weather outdoor play in our safe and accessible play area and regular ‘Learning though Nature’ sessions in the nearby woods. These sessions are inspired by Forest School principles, led by our qualified Forest School Practitioner.
