Birch

Caterpillars Pre-School in Birch was opened in September 2009. 
Based in a beautiful purpose built log cabin in the grounds of Birch Church of England Primary School. We are fortunate to have access to an immediate outdoor enclosure and to the school's playground, climbing and balancing areas and field.  Our relationship with the school is superb which enables our transition to schools to be as seamless as possible. We we take pride in the journey your little ones take with us and prepare them for their next journey to school life and we are equally proud to have achieved our 3rd successive Outstanding rating from Ofsted (June 2022)

Children aged 3 & over can attend the morning and/or the afternoon session (9:00 - 2:45)
