Welcome to Pre-School
Moat Pre-school is in a light and airy classroom for our 2, 3 & 4 year old children.
We also have a large, safe and secure outdoor area. The Pre-school is the place where the valuable foundations of learning are established and where children are prepared for entry into Reception and full time schooling. The children take part in a range of activities which will be carefully planned to ensure that learning takes place through natural play and structured activities.
