Cheselbourne Village School Pre-School

Cheselbourne Village School Preschool (Caterpillars) is situated in the grounds of our lovely, friendly first school. Children will benefit from a well-resourced learning environment with exciting indoor and outdoor play activities alongside opportunities for transition experiences with the Reception Class. This greatly enhances the transition for younger children preparing for their next adventure at 'big school'. Caterpillars runs all day Monday to Friday during term time. Caterpillar Pre-School is open to children from when they turn 3 years old and this provision accepts Government childcare funding. Wrap-around provision provided by Breakfast Club in the mornings and After School Club after school.
