About Us
Our children are at the heart of our curriculum and we take their interests and experiences into account when planning each session. By doing this, we are able to support them in making the next steps in their learning.
Milverton Pre-School's friendly and caring staff are experienced and highly qualified. We have an onsite lead practitioner, Charlotte Pringle-Kosikowsky, as well as an Early Years Co-Ordintator, Katy Smith and SENCo, Rachel Andrews, based at the school.
The best way to find out more about what we do is to arrange a visit. Please contact us on 01823 400243 or email preschool@milvertonprimary.co.uk

In accordance with national guidelines, we actively promote healthy eating and provide a nutritionally balanced snack in the morning and afternoon. You can provide your child with a packed lunch, or order a cooked meal that is provided by the local secondary school, Kingsmead School in Wiveliscombe.
Our outside space has recently been refurbished and includes new climbing equipment, story chair and lots more.
Milverton Primary School has wonderful grounds and we actively support outdoor play and use the natural surroundings to promote learning about our environment.
We also have our own Forest School area and our 'Tree Town' behind the Pre-school building. The children are given the freedom to direct their own learning and to enter in to a certain amount of 'risky' play to develop their learning. This helps give the children:
- Increased self-esteem and self-confidence
- Improved social skills
- The development of language and communication skills
- Improved physical motor skills
- Improved motivation and concentration
- Increased knowledge and understanding of the environment
Our opening hours are from 8am to 4.30pm. Please click here for more details.
