Locking Preschool - Little Meadows

Locking Little Meadows Preschool and Nursery is part of Locking Primary School. This on site nursery and preschool provides a perfect introduction to life at Locking Primary School, making the transition to 'big school' a little bit easier for both your child and you! 

We are extremely fortunate to have a fantastic space for the children to learn, grow and explore in. The setting is based next to the EYFS Reception classrooms and outdoor provision so this will give your child a wonderful and familiar transition to Locking Primary School. This wonderful space ensures the children have the very best environment to start their lifelong journey of learning as well as nurturing their independence. The opportunities and experiences we offer the children will be sure to extend their learning and development at your child’s individual pace. The first five years in a child’s life is a crucial learning stage, we ensure that we give all children opportunities to widen their knowledge around communities and culture celebrations such as Diwali and Christmas. Our staff are highly qualified, experienced and are fully committed to meeting the needs of every child and their family that attends our provision.
