Lymington Centre Pre-School Where Learning is Fun! We are based in The Lymington Community Centre, where we have our own dedicated room, free flow garden and fully fitted kitchen. D Pope.

Welcome to Lymington Centre Pre-School where experienced, dedicated, fully trained staff, provide and promote a safe, happy atmosphere focusing on learning through play. We encourage each child to develop and flourish at their own pace, offering a stimulating and nurturing environment, where they can develop emotionally, physically and intellectually. We ensure that each child and their families feel welcomed and valued from the moment they enter our room. All our staff recognise and understand, that for a parent choosing a pre-school for their child is of paramount importance. We therefore offer the highest standards of childcare for each and every child, offering them endless opportunities to grow their confidence, self-esteem and help support them through the natural transition to full time education. We embrace the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and apply the four key themes. We are authorised for children aged 2 years to rising 5’s. Early years funding is currently available from the term after your child’s 3rd Birthday, for either 15 hours per week (570 hours per year), or 30 hours per week (1,140 hours per year). We also accept 2 year funding and Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP). We are open from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm 43 weeks a year. Parent Reviews-
Lymington Centre pre-school is a happy, friendly & welcoming environment & my daughter loves attending the setting. She enjoys the outdoor play, various crafts & visits from the children's centre bus & various others, including the Tesco fruit lady! Parents are kept well informed of our children's progress through the online learning journey Tapestry. I would happily recommend Lymington centre Pre-school. " Lymington centre pre school is an excellent pre school providing excellent care, nurturing and guidance for children. I have two children that have attended here and they have both grown so much socially,emotional and academically. The staff are friendly, happy and provide great child care." L Blake.
“Both my girls have spent their pre-school years at Lymington Community Centre. It is an engaging and caring atmosphere with a great team that has set them up for school in the best possible way.”

Planting for spring

The children have been planting bulbs and are already very excited to see what will grow.

They spent time looking at the packets to see which flowers each bulb might become, before getting them tucked into the soil and watered.

Now comes the hard part: waiting to see the first little shoots appear.

Marble painting

The children chose purples, blues and silver for this one and were completely fascinated watching the marbles move through the paint and leave trails behind them.

There was lots of experimenting, working together and going back for another turn, especially once the glitter came out.

We loved how every piece turned out differently, and one of the finished paintings even became the card the children took down to the new café in the Centre.

Looking at ourselves

As part of our theme around getting to know ourselves, the children used mirrors to look closely at their own faces before creating their self portraits.

There was lots of careful looking, talking and creativity as everyone noticed the little details that made their picture their own.

We loved seeing all the different faces and hairstyles come together.

A little visit to the new café

A couple of weeks ago, the children took a little walk down the hallway to visit the new café in the Lymington community centre on their opening day.

They had made a card to take with them and were very excited to give it to the café team.

We were made to feel so welcome, and the children were very kindly treated to babyccinos and biscuits, which we all sat down and enjoyed together.

It was such a lovely little visit and a really nice way for the children to be part of something new happening right here in the Centre.

If you are in the Centre, do pop in and say hello. It is lovely to have the new café right on our doorstep.

🛤️ A little trip to the Quay 🛤️

We had a lovely little trip down to the Quay to see the ferry.

The children walked to the station, caught the train and were very excited to have their own tickets. The lovely gentleman on board even wrote out special little tickets for them to keep, which they absolutely loved.

Once we got to the Quay, we went to see the ferry before heading back to Preschool on the train again.

Such a simple little outing, but one that gave us lots to see, talk about and enjoy together.

We think the special tickets may have been the highlight of the journey.
