A warm welcome for every child
At Mowmacre Hill Pre-School, we believe every child deserves the best possible start. Our pre-school has been created to give children a safe, happy and nurturing place where they can learn through play, build confidence and feel part of the school community from the very beginning. Children are encouraged to explore, create, ask questions and develop independence in a caring environment where every family is welcomed and valued. As part of Mowmacre Hill Primary School, children also become familiar with school life, helping them feel comfortable and confident when they move into Reception.
