Every Child Belongs at Hellingly Preschool
At Hellingly Preschool, we believe every child is unique and deserves to feel a true sense of belonging. Our nurturing team ensures that all children, including those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), are supported to learn, explore, and achieve at their own pace. We work closely with families and professionals to provide the right support so that every child can thrive, feel confident, and enjoy their preschool experience.
About Our Team
Our experienced and dedicated team at Hellingly Preschool is passionate about inclusion and ensuring that every child feels safe, supported, and valued. Staff receive ongoing training in areas such as autism, ADHD, speech and language, anxiety, epilepsy, and medical needs, enabling us to provide tailored support for all children. We work together to create a calm, nurturing environment where children can develop confidence, independence, and a love of learning.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of exploration in every child. It reflects our belief that learning should be meaningful, engaging, and accessible to all. Each child’s individual interests and developmental needs are central to our planning, and we ensure that learning experiences are adapted so every child — including those with SEND — can progress at their own pace. Through a balance of play, structured opportunities, and supportive adult interaction, we help every child build strong foundations for lifelong learning.
Our Age Groups
2 - 4 Years Old
In our programme, our 2-4 year-olds are actively acquiring the essential abilities of communication, socialisation, and cooperative play. Mastering the art of interacting harmoniously with peers is a pivotal foundation for future school success. Our curriculum emphasises the significance of building relationships and understanding the art of sharing and taking turns.
​
In this nurturing environment, children have the opportunity to independently practise various life skills such as pouring their own drinks, progressing through toilet training, and honing their dressing abilities. With the guidance of our skilled practitioners, each child advances at their individual pace, fostering self-reliance and confidence.
​
We wholeheartedly embrace the characteristics of effective learning as a guiding principle across all areas of development and education.
Breakfast Club
Our breakfast club warmly welcomes children aged 2-11 years. Commencing at 8.00am, the morning kicks off with a delightful spread of cereals and toast for a nourishing breakfast. Following this, our young attendees are empowered to select their preferred activities, fostering independence and choice.
For those enrolled at Hellingly School, a cheerful 'walking crocodile' accompanies them to the school grounds, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey. Meanwhile, our preschool children embark on their daily activities right here at our premises, beginning their day with engaging experiences.
After School Club
Our After School Club warmly accommodates children aged 2-11 years. Following the school day, we collect pupils from Hellingly School. Upon arrival at our facility, a wholesome snack awaits, replenishing their energy for the rest of the afternoon.
Subsequently, our young attendees engage in a variety of games, active play, and outdoor adventures guided by our skilled after-school practitioners. Our doors remain open until 4pm, ensuring a fulfilling and enriching after-school experience for all.
