My eldest daughter went here a month after she turned two and I really believe it was the best preparation for primary school. Our youngest attends now and literally skips to school. She comes home happy and wanting to tell us all that she has been up to. Great to have someone else so messy play too! It really has helped their speech, confidence and social skills. The tapestry online journal is a great tool they use."Becky CReady to Join?If you’ve already visited or know Claydon is the right place for your child, head to our admissions page for next steps and how to apply. https://claydonpreschool.co.uk/visit-us Tue, 15 Jul 2025 13:39:46 +0100 https://claydonpreschool.co.uk/index.php?pcat=1&item=278
