The Orchard Pre-School, Little Milton

The Orchard Pre-School

The Orchard is a community pre-school providing early years education to children aged between 2-4 years. We have close links with local schools, making the transition from pre-school to primary school as smooth as possible.

We offer a breakfast club which is an extended pre-school activity designed to allow children to be in pre-school from 8:30am onwards, to have the opportunity to have a choice of food and drink for a healthy start to the day, and to join in activities on offer. The breakfast club is open to all children registered at The Orchard Pre-School. It is open from 8:30-9:00am, Monday to Friday term time only. Bookings are to be made in advance for the half term and are £4.00 per morning, which includes the cost of breakfast (funded hours cannot be used for this) 

Please give us a call on 01844 279989 if you would like to arrange a visit.
