Ascott Pre-School

Last day of term found us at the Ascott playground. We had a lovely play on the swings and slides and retired to the pavilion area for a picnic lunch outside (thank you Sally P for organising). We sang songs and played games before saying goodbye to all of the children who are moving on […]

We’ve had a Garden Centre and Cafe in the back garden all week – lots of lovely sunshine, the children have chosen to mostly play outside with breaks inside to get some extra shade. Lots of digging in soil and potting up of plants as well as measuring straight lines with string, sticking up signs […]

We look forward to seeing you all at Ascott Preschool’s Family Fun & Sports Day – Saturday 15th June – 11.30am – 3.00pm – the Recreation Ground, Ascott.

There will be hot and cold drinks available as well as cakes and slices to buy as an alternative to pancakes. […]

Ni Hao, This week we celebrated Chinese New Year; we are leaving the Year of the Dog and moving into the Year of the Pig. It was a busy and enjoyable week learning all about customs and traditions. The children heard the story of how the Chinese zodiac came to be and some listened really […]

The staff and older children have helped to settle the new starters in and everyone is doing really well, a lovely start to term. As always, things are very lively and we have enjoyed child led play both inside and out. The children’s staying power for being outside is amazing so please do remember to […]
