Oliver's Battery Pre-school is a secure, engaging and friendly environment for children aged 2 to 5 years, situated in the grounds of Oliver's Battery Primary School.
Established in February 1999 by Jackie Johnston, a pre-school leader with more than 20 years’ experience, to provide the local community with high-quality care and education of children who are below the statutory school age.
Staffed by an experienced and well-qualified team, Oliver’s Battery Pre-school works in partnership with parents to help their children to learn and develop as well as to offer them a service that promotes equality and values diversity.
With a ratio of one adult to four children for 2 year olds, and one to six for older children, our pre-school offers a secure environment in which every member of staff understands the needs of each individual child.
Oliver’s Battery Pre-school is registered with Ofsted and the Early Years Education funding. For more information please email us at oliversbatterypreschool@gmail.com or telephone Jackie Johnston on 07941 796958.
