Universal Kids Childcare

The preschool is situated within the Blakelaw and Cowgate Community Hub located on Lindfield Avenue next door to Thomas Walling Primary School. Children have access to a wide range of developmentally appropriate good quality toys and equipment. We have At Home Bags that allow parents/carers to help their children continue their learning in their home environment.

The preschool offers a free flow environment that allows children to access both the indoor and outdoor environment all day and in all weathers. Children enjoy having a continuous provision where they can independently access the resources themselves and make choices. They enjoy fun, stimulating key group work where staff have observed and recorded children's interests and plan around extending these interests and knowledge.

Children are able to access a meal at lunch time for an additional cost. This consists of a dinner and pudding, cooked in our kitchen. This is a home cooked meal using mainly fresh produce. All children receive toast, milk or water as their morning snack. Afternoon snack consists of fresh fruit, milk or water.

We aim to create a welcoming, happy, caring learning environment.
