About us
Crossbow Pre-School, Frampton Cotterell
Crossbow Pre-School was originally set up over 30 years ago by the Frampton Cotterell and District Community Association, in order to provide pre-school care and education for the children of the village and surrounding areas. Leadership of the Pre-School has recently changed hands, but its intentions remain the same.
At Crossbow Pre-School, we understand that young children thrive in an environment which is supportive, caring and stimulating and that young children learn primarily through play and real life experiences. This is reflected in our approach, where we see ourselves as partners in the children’s learning and plan around the children’s existing interests/abilities- this ensures that children are interested and motivated to learn.
We plan the Pre-School environment, resources and experiences in ways which empower children to seek meaning, find solutions and use creative thinking processes, we facilitate this with sensitive questioning, by offering practical support /advice and by supplying lots of praise and encouragement!
We aim to build the children’s self-confidence and self-esteem, thus laying the foundations for a successful and positive disposition to learning, both now and in the future.
We will continue to seek out new ways to improve our service to young children and their families in the local area and would welcome your suggestions/comments.
