St Winefride's Preschool

St. Winefride's preschool has been established at St. Winefride's Catholic Primary School since 1983. With the help of staff and parents, we have provided excellent care and education to many children. We pride ourselves on our superb reputation, which we have achieved over the years.

The preschool aims to establish a happy and secure environment where children develop lively, inquisitive minds through play. St. Winefride’s Preschool strives to help your child express ideas and feelings, understand superficial mathematical relationships, develop manipulative skills, and socialise and cooperate with others.

Ultimately, we aim to prepare your child for a smooth entry into school so self-confidence is protected and learning continues with the minimum disruption and the maximum advantage. We encourage parents and carers to understand and provide for their children’s needs and provide satisfying play in which parents have a right to participate.

All children are offered curriculum-planned activities that cover the new Welsh curriculum. The Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) monitors our performance to ensure good practice. We also provide opportunities for you, as a parent, to participate directly in the group’s activities and your child's progress.

All children will have a development folder in which we store crafts, photos and written observations; your child will also have a “paper-free” learning journey stored on an app called “Seesaw”, which up to 10 people can access. Learning journeys aim to enable staff to support all children’s learning and development during preschool.
