At Buttsbury Pre-school Billericay, our mission is to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment for children and families from all backgrounds within the local community. We are committed to ensuring that every family has access to our outstanding pre-school in Billericay through transparent, fair, and clearly communicated procedures.

Our approach to early years education is grounded in the principles of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. We believe that children learn best through play, and our dedicated staff aim to meet the unique needs of each child, fostering a love of learning in a safe, stimulating environment.

Our Aims

We are dedicated to achieving the following aims to support the growth and development of every child at Buttsbury Pre-school:

• Provide High-Quality Care and Education: We are committed to offering exceptional care and education for children below statutory school age, ensuring that every child receives the attention and support they need to thrive.
• Collaborate with Parents: We work closely with parents and carers to support the learning and development of each child. By building strong partnerships, we create an environment where children can reach their full potential.
• Contribute to the Local Community: As a community-focused pre-school in Billericay, we aim to enrich the life and well-being of the local community, fostering strong connections with families and local organisations.
• Promote Equality and Diversity: We are passionate about offering a service that values and celebrates diversity. We ensure that every child and family feel respected, included, and supported in their unique journey.

Learning Through Play

At Buttsbury Pre-school Billericay, we recognise that each child is unique, with individual needs and strengths. Through stimulating play activities and a nurturing environment, we support children in developing important life skills such as:

• Respecting and enjoying the company of others
• Listening, sharing, and concentrating
• Taking pride in their achievements

By following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework, we ensure that children receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for their next steps in learning. Our approach encourages active learning and fosters curiosity, allowing children to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace.

Partnership with Local Primary Schools

In addition to providing the best early education, we maintain strong relationships with local primary schools in Billericay. Our managers and staff collaborate with primary school teachers to ensure a smooth transition for children as they move into formal education. When appropriate, we organise reciprocal visits, allowing children and teachers to familiarise themselves with each other before school begins.

At Buttsbury Pre-school, our mission and aims reflect our commitment to being one of the best pre-schools in Billericay, offering every child a safe, inclusive, and engaging learning environment.
