Short profile:
Minus 5 Pre-school is very fortunate to be situated within the grounds of Victory Park in Addlestone, and we make good use of the park’s facilities
Minus 5 Pre-school has been in Addlestone since 1970 and is registered with Surrey County Council’s Early Years Development and Childcare Service to educate children below school age from 2 years of age. We are also registered with OFSTED under the Children’s Act of 1989 and are inspected regularly (our last inspection was in Sept 2007, and once again we received the maximum of 3 years between inspections). The Pre-school is also a member of the Pre-school Learning Alliance, which offers support and training to pre-schools.
Minus 5 is an elected, committee- run, non- profit making pre-school and parental support is essential to its success. Our Annual General Meeting, at which the Committee for the following year is elected, is held during the Autumn Term.
Detailed description:
At Minus 5 we pride ourselves on our belief in ‘learning through play’, and we monitor, and provide for, the individual needs and interests of each child by using the Early Years Foundation Stage.
Our objective at Minus 5 Pre-school is to provide children with activities which support and extend knowledge, skills, understanding and confidence in order to ease the transition from home to school. We aim to provide an enjoyable and caring environment in which they can play, learn, and enjoy new experiences.
We also aim to work with parents in an atmosphere of mutual respect, in order that children can have the security and confidence in which to learn.
From the term after your child’s third birthday, the Pre-school will claim the above grant from Surrey County Council. This grant currently entitles your child to 15 hours per week for up to 38 weeks a year. Minus 5 Pre-school is open for 37 weeks.
Minus 5 does accept childcare vouchers. Please speak to Gill Parry, Manager if you wish to pay your child’s fees this way.
