Welcome to Altarnun Pre-School

Altarnun Pre-School

Our pre-school is located in Five Lanes adjoining the Altarnun primary school, easily accessible and is in an ideal location for both local families and those living or working between Bodmin and Launceston. Children can start at the age of two and stay with us until the age of five. Our spacious classroom is bright and airy and it provides the children with ample room for all the activities our nursery offers. We also have a garden and outdoor area which the children play whatever the weather.

Our goal is to provide a safe and caring environment where children can gain a positive approach to school and learning. They will learn to care for and respect each other, whilst learning how to be part of a group. Good nursery education is crucial to a child's formative years and fosters an enthusiasm and confidence that will remain with them throughout their school life. Our experienced and dedicated staff help the children to become successful learners, confident individuals and effective contributors to society. Children learn through play and planned activity with a balance of free choice.
