8 am-4 pm;  8 am-1 pm;  1 pm-4 pm

APPLYING FOR A PLACE

To apply for a place, click on the link below to download a Registration Form, or you can collect a copy from the school office.

The majority of  places become available from September each year and are allocated during the summer term.

Spaces at Little Learners are limited (particularly for 2 year olds) and, whilst we will endeavour to offer places to as many children as possible, submitting a Registration Form does not guarantee a place.

Places will be allocated in accordance with our Admissions Policy.

**Please note that attending Little Learners Pre-School does not give any priority for a place at Primrose Lane Primary School**

OUR SETTING

Little Learners is based in a dedicated classroom within Primrose Lane Primary School. As well as this space we have a wooden cabin which we use for small group work and some lovely outdoor spaces which we use as much as possible, including a garden area.

  DAILY ROUTINE

Each day we follow a daily routine but this can be adjusted based on planned activities like walks, PE sessions or the children's interests.

We deliver the learning curriculum through themed activities - an example of a half-termly theme plan can be found below.

We work on letters and sounds with the children daily and further details regarding learning and the curriculum can be found on the Little Learners Learning and Development page.

Children attending morning or full day sessions will have lunch at Little Learners. You may either provide a home packed lunch, or order and pay for a Meal via the school meals payment system “My Child at School” ( Login details and instructions will be provided after your child has started at Little Learners).
