Caterpillars Marks Tey is a long established Pre-School running from St Andrews Church Hall for nearly 20 years. From September 2024, Caterpillars will be moving to our exciting new setting based in a building in the grounds of St Andrews School, CO6 1HL.
Children and parents can continue to expect a caring friendly welcome, with high quality, experienced staff who have a range of skills to help your child learn their own identities through meaningful play.
Each of our children is on a learning journey and staff are sensitive to each individual child's needs
and support them in every way.
Children aged 2.5 & over can attend the morning sessions - 9:00am – 12:30pm
Children aged 3 & over can attend for the full day (9am-2:45pm).
