The Owl's Nest Pre-School
🦉 Welcome to Owls Nest Pre-School
At Owls Nest Pre-School, nestled within the heart of Peakirk cum Glinton Primary Academy, we offer a nurturing and inspiring environment where your child’s early learning journey begins with joy, curiosity, and care.
We believe that every child is unique, and our dedicated team works closely with families to ensure each child feels safe, valued, and excited to learn. Our setting is designed to spark imagination and foster independence, with a rich variety of play-based activities that support early development across all areas of learning.
🌿 A Place to Grow
Children at Owls Nest thrive in a warm, welcoming, purpose built atmosphere that encourages exploration and creativity. Whether they’re building friendships in our outdoor play area, discovering stories in our cosy reading corner, or expressing themselves through art and music, every day is filled with opportunities to grow and shine.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, ensuring a balanced approach to learning that supports communication, physical development, personal and social skills, and early literacy and numeracy.
🤝 Part of Our School Family
As part of Peakirk cum Glinton Primary Academy, Owls Nest children benefit from being part of a wider school community. They enjoy shared experiences special events, and transition activities that help them feel confident and connected as they prepare for their next steps in education.
💛 Our Values
Our pre-school is built on the values that underpin our whole school ethos: friendship, respect, trust, compassion, peace and harmony, and forgiveness. These guide everything we do, helping children develop strong foundations not just for learning, but for life.
