About Intake Pre School

Intake Pre School Operates from a purpose built building located on the grounds of Intake Primary School, we provide term time childcare for children between the ages of 9 months - Reception age.

We are also eligible providers of the funded early education for all 3 and 4 year old's (including the 30 hours extended offer) as well as the funded early play for eligible 2 year old's.

Intake Pre School was originally known as Frecheville Toddlers and was formed over twenty years ago. The group then moved premises finding a more permanent home at Intake in September 1999, the group then changed it's name to suit the new acquired venue and Intake Pre School was officially created. In 2001 Intake Pre School became an eligible provider of the free early education and has since gone from strength to strength.

The pre school is managed by a Voluntary Board Of Trustees, which comprises of ex-parents, current parents and community members. The day to day operations of the pre school are overseen by the Pre School Manager and a small team of employees.

The Pre School is also a registered charity, we hold various fundraising events throughout the year along with a very successful Christmas raffle. All funds raised go back into the pre school as we are a 'not for profit' organisation.

Our Ethos -

To give all children the best start in life. Allowing children to explore with excitement whilst learning and challenging themselves through play and following their own interests.

Adapt and encourage all children to be individual, independent and to feel free to explore their own imagination and ideas.
