A Brief History and Background

Needingworth Community Pre-school is a registered charity that was set up in 1978 by a group of parent/carers keen to provide community based sessional day-care for the under fives in the parish of Holywell-cum-Needingworth.

The pre-school operates from the village of Holywell-cum-Needingworth's Community Education room, which is situated in the school grounds of Holywell Church of England Primary School.  Pre-school maintains close links with the school and has primary use of the room it operates from.  Pre-school has use of the school's playground at designated times and the school playing fields.

Pre-school values its place at the heart of our community both as a provider of quality, nurturing community childcare and as a social network that provides support, friendship and opportunities for families to be directly involved in their children's pre-school education.

We have regular OFSTED inspections, which enable us to receive government funding for our 3 and 4 year olds.  We hope you and your children enjoy becoming part of this thriving pre-school.

Links with School

Strong links have been forged over the years between pre-school and Holywell Church of England Primary School.  In the year before they start in reception, our four year olds follow a "Getting ready for school" program which involves going into reception, meeting Mrs Harland who will be their teacher, doing story snaps, visiting the school hall and even trying a school dinner.  We also take part in various school social and fundraising events.
