Our Curriculum | Swimbridge Preschoool

Small setting. Big Heart. Where community and childhood go hand in hand.

Happy, Confident, Curious

Team

At Swimbridge Pre-school, our Curriculum is shaped by the children and families in our care and the village community around us. We believe children learn best when they feel valued, secure and confident

A nurturing Start

We prioritise emotional wellbeing and positive relationships. Our children feel safe, supported and known as individuals, helping them grow in confidence, independence and resilience.

Learning Through Exploration

Children enjoy daily access to our Streamside Garden and regular visits to the local park. Where they can explore, be active, and learn in natural surroundings.

Rooted in Our Community

We have strong links with the local school, church and village community enabling children to feel a real sense of belonging. We also enjoy visits further afield to South Molton and Barnstaple, where children can see and explore, real-life settings and everyday activities outside of the Preschool.

Inspiring a Love of Learning

Through stories, songs, creative play, and exploration, children develop early literacy, numeracy, and problem solving skills. We encourage imagination, curiosity, and the confidence to express ideas and try new things.

Our Curriculum prepares children not only for school but for life, building resilience, curiosity, kindness and a life long love of learning. Building strong foundations for life.

Together at the table

Snack and lunch times are calm, sociable parts of or day. Children sit together, develop independence and enjoy conversations with friends and adults.

We talk about healthy choices and encourage children to try new foods in a relaxed and supportive way. We believe in teaching balance and moderation and we love celebrating specials occasions, including birthdays. So that every child feels valued and part of our Preschool family.

Andrew Marsall

Swimbridge Pre-school has been absolutely incredible for our little boy. He hadn't entered any childcare setting until he was 4 years old and preschool days are his favourite days of the week. We love that they are so nurturing, calm yet engaging and offer so many different experiences without overwhelming the children. They regularly go on day trips, spend a good amount of time outside and our son always comes back to tell us about all the different activities he got up to that day. If you want your childs preschool days to feel like a home from home, this is the place for you.
