About Us
Nether Heyford Pre-School is a vibrant and dynamic provider of early years education. Established for many years, the pre-school is a popular choice with local residents and parents from neighbouring villages and fosters strong links with local businesses and organisations. In particular, we work closely with local primary schools to ensure a smooth transition from pre-school to school for all our children.
The pre-school is established as a registered charity and is run by a committee of parent volunteers. As a provider of early years education and childcare, we are registered with and regulated by Ofsted and we work closely with advisors from West Northamptonshire Council to ensure that we meet all of our obligations under the relevant regulations. We strive to achieve best practice in all we do and regularly review our operations to identify areas for improvement or development. Along with the Business Manager, the parent committee are responsible for managing the strategic direction of the pre-school as well as ensuring that day to day operations are run efficiently and effectively thereby securing the pre-school’s long term future.
The Staff
We currently employ six members of staff who are supported and encouraged to undertake appropriate training to develop their skills and ensure their knowledge keeps pace with developments in the early years childcare sector.
