Brampton Pre-school is one of two settings that form Portishead Pre-school, which has been operating for 60 years, is a registered charity and where curiosity meets creativity, and every day is an adventure in learning! At Brampton, we understand the importance of fostering a warm and nurturing environment for your little ones. Our dedicated team of experienced practitioners is committed to providing a safe and stimulating space where children can explore, discover, and develop a lifelong love for learning. Our curriculum is designed to engage young minds through a delightful blend of play-based activities, hands-on experiences, and age-appropriate educational materials. We believe in the power of imagination and strive to create an atmosphere that encourages each child to express themselves freely. Brampton preschool is not just a place for education; it's a community where parents are valued partners in their child's journey. We invite you to join us on this exciting adventure as we support and guide your child's early years, laying the foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, confidence, and joy in learning.
We operate Monday - Friday 9:00am-3:30pm during term time. We offer a morning or afternoon session and ask that children attend a minimum of 3 sessions per week. In addition, we offer a private lunch club facility for those parents who are looking for all day care for their children. We can accommodate up to 30 children each session and children are eligible to join the setting once they reach the age of 3 years.
From April 2024 children will be eligible to start at our Hilltop Pre-school from age 2 years, pending availability and in line with new government funding.
In accordance with OFSTED guidelines, each session is operated by qualified, DBS checked staff who hold a Paediatric First Aid Qualification.
All children are allocated a member of staff as a ‘Keyperson‘ when they join Brampton. The Keyperson will document your child’s learning and developmental progress in accordance with the Early Years Foundation Stage.
