Our new garden has been in the planning for many years, and after much hard work, and with thanks to the commitment of a lot of people, our new play area was opened on 29 April at our Royal Garden Party.
As many people are aware, before this wonderful addition, the children used to play on a tarmac area in front of the Pre-School hall. Now the children have access to a lovely, newly refurbished area which the Pre-School committee (past & present) and the church committee have worked hard together to complete.
The area has a new lawn and fencing along with some lovely plants which were donated by the children from Pre-School. We have been extremely fortunate to have been donated a playhouse, see-saw and sandpit, these join our climbing frame and other playhouse which the children thoroughly enjoy using. Lots of the other equipment for our play area including wheelbarrows, children's gardening equipment, greenhouse, bird feeders, bug magnifiers, chalk boards plus much more have been bought with money from grants that the committee have successfully obtained from The Co-Op Community Fund, Grassroots and Heathfield and Waldron Parish Council.
The church committee has been extremely generous and together with the Pre-School we hope that they will enjoy many years of happiness using the garden too.
OPEN MORNING - Wednesday 22nd June from 10am. Spaces available. Please come along or contact the pre-school for further information.
Many thanks.

At St Richard's Pre-School, we aim to provide quality care and education, meeting the child's individual needs and building upon existing knowledge in a safe and stimulating environment.
We aim to provide favourable conditions for each child to develop his/her potential. We encourage a good partnership with our parents/carers and to provide equal opportunities for all families within the community of the pre-school.
Our team of qualified, experienced and motivated staff members aims to provide a full, varied and balanced curriculum in consultation with the parents. We support the children's learning where appropriate, enabling the children to become confident and independent workers.
St Richard's Pre-School is a member of the Early Years Development plan. This mean that we are inspected by OFSTED who will ensure that we, as a pre-school, are offering your children a suitable well balanced curriculum enabling them to make maximum progress towards the Early Leaning Goals.

Within the group, all children are supported in developing their potential at their own pace. Our key worker system enables us to ensure a planned curriculum tailored to the needs of each individual child.
By means of developmentally appropriate play activities and a high level of individual adult input, we offer a curriculum which leads to nationally approved learning outcomes and prepares children to progress with confidence to the National Curriculum at the age of five years.
