Corby Glen Preschool

Preschool is a family orientated , charity run setting on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Corby Glen. The children who attend the setting have access to a large outdoor area with free-flow play opportunities, with well qualified staff.

We believe it is important for children to express themselves and learn to socialize and play. Our large indoor open play area is the ideal setting for safe activities whilst allowing the children freedom of movement and expression.

Outdoor space - our large outdoor spaces are ideal for the children to exert their natural drive and flair for fun, Forest School principles and activities.

The Preschool use In The Moment Planning, this supports children's learning and development, this encourages the children to choose where their learning starts and the aims are to follow the children's fascinations so they are involved with their learning.
