Welcome to Little Elves Pre-School in Fleet, Hampshire
Little Elves Community Pre-School, in Elvetham Heath, Fleet, offers community based pre-schooling from the age of 2 years and 9 months to 5 years old.
Situated on the popular Elvetham Heath Estate in Fleet, Little Elves has been established for 9 years and has grown steadily in size and reputation. In April 2011, Little Elves expanded into a new modern extension, providing twice the capacity, an all weather outdoor play area and dedicated children’s toilets, all to encourage free flow play and independence.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and have 14 staff. The pre-school is a committee-run charity so we have a real sense of community with everyone on the committee being a parent at the pre-school. We have external companies visiting regularly, giving the children the opportunity to engage in physical activities, with Energy Kidz and animal-handling workshops with Zoolab.
We aim to ensure that each child:
- is in a safe and stimulating environment;
- is given generous care and attention, because of our ratio of qualified staff to children, as well as volunteer parent helpers;
- has the chance to join with other children and adults to live, play, work and learn together;
- is helped to take forward her/his learning and development by being helped to build on what she/he already knows and can do;
- has a personal key person who makes sure each child makes satisfying progress;
- is in a setting that sees parents as partners in helping each child to learn and develop; and
- is in a setting in which parents help to shape the service it offers.
