Welcome to the online home of East Coker Pre-school Playgroup....
East Coker is a friendly, happy preschool situated in the picturesque village of East Coker, close to Yeovil. Based on the playing fields and surrounded by beautiful Somerset countryside, children learn in an inspiring outdoor environment supported by caring and highly qualified staff.
"Staff provide good role models who help children to develop positive attitudes and behaviour" (Ofsted 2024)
As part of the Group's policy to ensure its provision meets the needs of each individual child, we take account of any special/additional needs a child may have and work to the requirements of the 1993 Education Act and the Special Education Needs Code of Practice (2001).
"Staff provide close support to help reassure less settled children to manage the change in activities throughout the day, and to help them feel secure," (Ofsted 2024)
Parents as Partners
Our setting recognises parents as the first and most important educator of their children. Parents are regarded as members of our setting and have full participatory rights. These include being valued and respected, being kept informed and consulted, involved and included at all levels. As a community-led, voluntary-managed setting we also depend on the goodwill of parents and their involvement to keep going.
"Staff keep parents informed of their children's progress through daily communication and termly meetings" (Ofsted 2024)
We are registered with Ofsted to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage
for Learning and Development through play.
- release your child's potential.
