Everything that we have learnt from our settings has been transferred to Busy Lizzies Preschool, but on a bigger scale!
The activities, planning and resources have been chosen with care. We have used our reflective practice from Bengeo Playgroup to ensure we have the most popular resources, themes, topics and activities that will challenge the children in a fun way.
We like to think that Busy Lizzies Preschool is a home from home. Each child is allocated a Key Person who will bond with your child and plan interesting and educational activities. Our staff have over 40 years of Childcare experience between them.
Each year we add to our large range of resources to ensure that we offer a wealth of fun activities to entertain the children. We have a covered outside area and a large enclosed Play ground which enables us to offer free flow play whatever the weather. We are also lucky enough to have a separate secure grassed play space where we also grow our own fruit and vegetables.
Your child can join Busy Lizzies Preschool the term after they turn 2 and progress to Nursery and School. We hold a transition meeting with the Nursery Teachers from local schools and provide transition reports. Nursery teachers are invited to our setting to meet their new children.
…where children feel at home.

We ended our Autumn topic this week by continuing to explore how we can make conkers move, creating leaf creatures and counting leaves 🍁 🍃 Have a wonderful half term everyone.
For our final week of this half term we are looking at the colour green with a threading and number tray. The children have asked for our Peppa Pig toys to be out so we have them all ready for them in the morning.
We had a fantastic week exploring everything Autumn as we looked at colours, textures, sinking and floating and how to make a conker roll. We look forward to continuing this next week.
Our new yellow tray including some maths and fine motor activities plus a bit of sensory play thrown in too!
The children will be helping us put together an Autumn tray outside with all of the treasures they gather on our Autumn walks this week.
Our week at preschool......... Making bread, finished our harvest basket and preschool friends displays, looking at shapes and the colour blue, making a scarecrow for our story of the week and a visit from a tractor.
