Under normal circumstances, we operate an open-door policy all year round – where you do not need to book an appointment – you are welcome to come in at any time. Whether to ask questions, discuss the individual needs of your child or to join in with a session.  But like a lot of things with Covid-19 this has had to stop, however we welcome phone calls and emails so please keep in touch.  

Parent Partnership

Starting pre-school is a big step for children and their families, at Little Chicks Pre-School we pride ourselves on the partnership we have built up with our parents. We share your child’s learning experiences and development at regular termly parent meetings.

We have found these meetings give us the opportunity to…

• talk and get to know each other
• share advise and strategies
• helps us to ensure each child’s individual needs are met
