Altarnun Pre-School

Our pre-school is located in Five Lanes adjoining 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 we offer. We also have a garden and outdoor area in 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.

OFSTED Inspection Report

"This provision is good

The committee supports the manager and staff well to provide efficient organisation and monitoring of their provision. Self-evaluation is effective. Management and staff make continuous improvements to their resources and skills, which is beneficial to children.
The manager and staff have positive partnerships with parents and others. This enables them to support children's individual needs and progress well. For example, to provide additional support in children's communication and language development.
Children enjoy a good range of activities and enjoy learning through play. They are sociable, confident and play well together. Children feel very secure as staff prepare them well for entry to pre-school and school.
Effective observation, assessment and planning procedures identify children's next steps and track progress well. The manager and staff continue to develop their good procedures, to extend the opportunities to involve parents further in the assessment of children's progress.
