Holbrook & District Preschool has been running for many years by committed, caring and qualified staff. Their primary aims are to offer a secure, friendly and stimulating environment which promotes learning through play for every pre-school child in their care. A real home from home.

Each child is given the opportunity to learn new skills, make friends and enjoy a wide variety of activities. Activities are designed to stimulate the child’s creativity and imagination, extend the child’s understanding of the world around them, develop language and listening skills, learn to work in groups and to respect and value people from all backgrounds. They have a lot of fun too.

Holbrook Playgroup is affiliated to the Pre-School Learning Alliance and is regularly inspected by Social Services and Ofsted. All Health and Safety Guidelines as required by Ofsted Early Years are followed.

Laura- Deputy Manager-Baby Lead

As a qualified Level 3 Childcare Practitioner, Deputy Manager and Baby Room Lead, I feel incredibly fortunate to spend my days supporting our youngest children during the most important stage of their development. The first years of a child’s life are truly extraordinary, and I am passionate about creating a nurturing, secure environment where every baby feels safe, valued and loved.
Building strong, trusting relationships with each child is at the heart of my role. As a mum of three, I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and reassured when leaving their little ones in our care. That is why I work hard to ensure our baby room feels like a home away from home — warm, calm and filled with meaningful experiences.
Outside of nursery life, I enjoy reading, watching movies, family adventures and spending time in my garden.

Molly - Apprentice

I have always wanted to work in child care and am currently working towards my level 3 qualification. I love working with children and helping them to grow and develop. I also enjoy teaching the children new skills and learn so much about myself at the same time.
Outside of work I like to read and cook/bake.
