About Hind Leys Preschool & Natural Playcentre
We have been a pre-school playgroup for over 45 years situated in the old Hind Leys Community College. We have evolved over the years and we are now sited in our own buildings in the corner of the Iveshead Campus and provide for babies to school age children known for quality early years education.
Our ethos revolves around the Directors vision and the well-being and interest of children. The four main sections of our ethos make up the curriculum.
Forest School – originating from Scandinavian Countries in the 90’s – acknowledging children are connected to nature.
The Reggio Emilia Approach – creativity and expressing is woven through all that we offer. The environment is key in this approach seeing this as the 3rd teacher.
A mindful curriculum – Mental health matters, emotional development features as a priority – offers Mind, Body, heart as a focus.
The Leuven Institute in Belgium and Professor Ferrer Laevers provide experiential scaffold of social competencies and an experiential environment.
We receive most of our income from our fees which barely covers our costs. We welcome support and have a parent-led fundraising team that work hard to help increase our income. Any fundraising we make goes back into our setting by purchasing equipment, up keep of our buildings, staff training, the list is endless.
Thank you for your support.
