Learning should be fun

At Caterpillars we all learn together and we all learn from each other. Our practitioners treat
children as individuals to try and help them to answer their own questions, feel safe and secure,
learn at their own pace.

Why Caterpillars

Caterpillars are committed to the safety and welfare of the children who attend. Staff are well
trained in every area of the curriculum and regularly update their knowledge.

Ofsted Outstanding education for 2-5 year olds

Caterpillars is an ever evolving establishment, changing to meet the needs of the children and community as well as Government policies and standards. In addition, we implement new ideas and change practices as our employees take part in ongoing training.

At Caterpillars we all learn together and we all learn from each other. Our practitioners treat children as individuals to try and help them to answer their own questions, feel safe and secure, learn at their own pace.

My Son has been going to Caterpillars for the past year and is thoroughly enjoying his time at pre-school. The Staff are all lovely and they have been able to give my Son the additional medical support he needs in a confident way. There is always a great range of inside and outside activities for the children in each session. Since starting Caterpillars his learning progress has been exceptional and done through play it has been made enjoyable. In my opinion a Highly recommended pre school

My little girl absolutely loves it here, it is a wonderful pre school and I couldn't be happier with my choice for her. She is excited to go every morning and comes home with loads to tell me about her day. I would highly recommend it, the staff are amazing.
