About This Business

Warborough and Shillingford Pre-school, affectionately known as WASPS, is a charitable organization dedicated to providing a safe, happy, and inclusive environment for children to play, learn, and develop. Managed by a volunteer committee of parents and run by a team of qualified childcare specialists, the pre-school has the interests of all its children at heart. The pre-school offers morning and afternoon sessions that incorporate free play, structured activities, group sessions, story time, and snack, catering to the diverse needs and interests of its students. Additionally, WASPS operates an after-school club and holiday clubs for children aged 2-11, which are open to both St Laurence pupils and children from the local area. The pre-school's term dates and inset days are tied to those of St Laurence School, and prices are calculated per session for pre-school, after-school, and holiday club attendance. As a charity, WASPS relies on fundraising to supplement its fee revenue, ensuring the provision of high-quality and diverse facilities for its students. The pre-school has been awarded a 'Good' rating by Ofsted, with its most recent inspection taking place in June 2023. WASPS is committed to supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities, and it works in conjunction with the Local Offer, set out by Oxfordshire County Council, to provide information about SEN provision available locally. The pre-school is also a member of the Early Years Alliance, an organization that champions the best for early years development and provides valuable resources for policy and planning. By supporting learning through play, WASPS aims to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment that allows children to thrive and reach their full potential. With its strong commitment to the local community and its dedication to providing high-quality childcare, Warborough and Shillingford Pre-school is an excellent choice for families seeking a supportive and inclusive environment for their children.
