Welcome to our Pre-School page. We are a term-time-only setting located in the grounds of Madley Primary School.  We are open from 9am till 3.30pm, Monday to Friday and offer an 'Early Bird' session from 8.30 am each day. We also run a Breakfast Club in conjunction with Madley Primary School. It operates from 7.45 am each morning and is for children over the age of 3 years.

Our mission is to provide a purposeful, calm and respectful setting that allows each child to express themselves and engage with their learning, in a safe and healthy environment. Our children enjoy exploring our beautiful setting, learning through play and engaging in rich and creative opportunities and activities. We embrace outdoor learning throughout our day, and we aim to 'get outside' as often as we can, in all weathers. We encourage the children to take ownership of the setting and involve them in taking responsibility as much as possible, from planting and harvesting our vegetable garden to caring for our guinea pigs. 

We are very proud to share with you that we have been awarded our Values Award by Dr Neil Hawkes celebrating how we work to promote Values with children and adults around us. Neil wrote in his report  "A special word about Madley Pre-School. This has been refurbished since our last visit and we witnessed an outstanding learning environment where the pupils are lovingly and skilfully supported in their learning activities. The Pre-School is well led and supported by a dedicated group of adults. The Pre-School reminded us of a number of outstanding Pre-Schools that we have seen in Scandinavian countries".  Not many Early Years settings have achieved this prestigious award, we are one of only a few in the country...something to celebrate.

More recently, in October 2025, we proudly became the first Early Years setting to be accredited as an 'Early Years Value-based-education setting'. 

Please call in and see us or call on 01981251460.

We look forward to hearing from you.
