🎓 Welcome to Preschool – Getting Ready for Big School!

Preschool is an exciting time where your child begins their final year at Bambi’s, preparing for the transition to "big school." While learning through play is still at the heart of everything we do, we also begin to introduce slightly more structured activities to help children build the skills they’ll need for school.

Our pre-schoolers explore early phonics, numbers to 20, and 3D shapes—but always through fun, engaging activities designed to keep them motivated and confident.

One of the children’s favourites is the Jolly Phonics programme. They love singing along to the songs and learning the actions! You can listen at home too by visiting:

🗣️ Supporting Communication & Language

At Bambi’s, we believe communication and language development is a vital part of your child’s early education. We create a language-rich environment where children are encouraged to express themselves, ask questions, and share ideas in a wide range of situations.

To support this, we offer:

• A variety of role play and small world toys to inspire conversation

• A wide selection of age-appropriate books to spark imagination

• Regular story times where children are encouraged to join in, retell stories, and even create their own

• Songs and rhymes to build vocabulary and listening skills.

🔢 Developing Early Maths Skills

We introduce key early maths concepts through both structured learning and play-based activities. Children explore:

• Counting to 20

• 3D shapes and patterns

• Simple problem-solving using puzzles, dice, and number games

• Comparing and sorting with fun tools like compare bears

• Outdoor maths– number hunts, games, and songs in the garden

• Number rhymes and counting songs to make learning fun and memorable

Our goal is to ensure every child leaves preschool feeling confident, capable, and excited for their next adventure in primary school.
