About Us

About Us

Binfield Preschool has been providing children aged 2 to 5 years with the opportunity to learn and develop through free play and structured group work, so that they can progress into full time education confident, eager and happy since 1982, over 30 years

All of our staff and volunteers are committed to the safeguarding of children. Binfield Preschool places great importance on the appropriate training and experience of its staff.

Our adults to children ratios are in line with OFSTED guidelines which ensure that staff can provide close attention to every child. Your child will be allocated a ‘Key Person’ who will work closely with them, building a special relationship, giving guidance and support which suits their own individual needs, monitoring and documenting their progress and achievements. Each ‘Key Person’ is responsible for a small group of children 

We are a registered charity, which is managed by a Committee who work closely with staff to shape and develop the Preschool. Our charity number 1020270

Registered with OFSTED (EY 292744) and a member of the Early Years Alliance (EYA). 

Jocks Lane Pavilion was OFSTED inspected in 2018 and received a GOOD rating.  Copies of this report can be viewed at www.ofsted.gov.uk
