Graded GOOD by Ofsted
For over 50 years Whetstone Baptist Church Pre-School (now Springwell Pre-School) has been providing a warm welcome to all children. We have places from the age of 2 years.
At Springwell Pre-School children are encouraged to experience a range of play-based activities within a Christian environment.
Our curriculum provides opportunities for children to enjoy learning, grow in confidence and to progress towards early learning goals, as detailed in the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, in a safe, happy, caring and stimulating environment.
Through play, conversation and interaction with adults and peers, the children are motivated to learn and develop lifelong learning skills.

Pre-School environment
All our activities provide children with opportunities to have fun, play together, grow in confidence and be motivated to learn.
We operate from a brand new building with a dedicated purpose-designed children’s area which has two large rooms connected to a secure outdoor playspace. Each room has child-sized toilet facilities. Our sessions consist of:
- supervised free play
- adult led and child initiated activities
- active play
- creative activities
- snack and quiet time
During these sessions we provide opportunities to support children across all areas of development.
We also hold ‘Stay & Play’ sessions, annual Sports Morning, Nativity service and have special visitors from within the community, such as police officers, fire fighters and the school crossing patrol.
