Preschool

Regent House Preschool is open to all children from 2 years 10 months to 4 years. We enrol pupils regardless of religion, race, culture, social class, ability or disability.

At Regent House Preschool we offer fee paying places. We are registered with SEHSC Trust to enrol a maximum of 32 pupils, two classes of 16. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Part-time places are available but, if oversubscribed, preference will be given to applications for a full-time places.

Why consider a Preschool place at Regent House School?

  1. At Regent House Preschool, we aim to provide, in partnership with Parents/Carers, a safe, caring and stimulating environment which enhances the development and education of children as they learn through play.

  2. We strive to foster positive attitudes towards learning and encourage the development of each child’s confidence and self-esteem through engagement in age/stage-appropriate play and opportunities developed to stimulate imagination and interest.

  3. We consider each child as an individual and value the qualities they bring to our Preschool. We strive to create a nurturing environment that supports and encourages children to reach their full potential. In our endeavours to fulfil this commitment to the children, we will work closely with Parents/Carers.

  4. We aim to provide the children with a nurturing, happy and secure environment that supports their well-being and allows them to experience a broad and balanced curriculum that builds on their individual needs and interests.

  5. At Regent House Preschool, children will begin to explore their school environment whilst building and establishing positive relationships with staff and other children. This supports the seamless transition from Preschool to Prep 1.

  6. The children will be encouraged to become respectful problem-solvers capable of independent decision-making, taking part in collaborative play which values everyone regardless of race, gender, cultural background or additional needs etc.

  7. We believe that ‘play is the work of the child’ and is the way in which children discover new things about the world around them. In our safe, nurturing, family atmosphere we will help support each child with answering all the ‘wondering’ questions which pop up!
