BELMONT PRESCHOOL

A Fun and Welcoming Learning Environment

Belmont Preschool provides a high standard of care, education and learning opportunities.

Children can explore a rich and diverse range of activities within a flexible, stimulating, inclusive, and welcoming learning environment.

We aim to help the children develop self-respect, respect for others, and respect for their environment to fulfil their full potential. 

We believe that children thrive in a happy, stimulating, and exciting environment. Praise encouragement and fun in these vital early years of their education allow every child a fulfilling and positive experience. Our staff work hard to create a fun and relaxed environment, thus providing an excellent start to your child’s education.

Learning and development 

Here at Belmont, we follow the curriculum following the 6 areas of learning set down in the Preschool Education Curricular Guidance. We also base our weekly plans on the children's interests and ideas as this helps the children progress and achieve in all areas of development.

    These area's are:

  • Personal, Social and Emotional
  • Physical
  • Communication and Language
  • Mathematics
  • Literacy
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Art and Design

  • Activity-based Learning


    The children learn through play-based activities and resources, inside and outside, as recommended in the curricular guidance.

    Children are able to explore and experience developmentally appropriate activities independently, with lots of praise and encouragement from staff.


    Some of the aims of the curriculum is for your child to:


    • Be independent
    • Share with others
    • Trust new adults an accept new situations
    • Experiment with all sorts of materials and be able to cope with uncertainty and learn through trial and error
    • Express themselves in different ways
    • Develop language and listening skills
    • Have a try at doing things for themselves allowing the child to learn at their own pace and gain a positive image of themselves as learners
    • Value others and be considerate

    Please go to the Preschool Statement of Purpose for further information on the sessions. It includes a link to our last inspection from The Education Training Inspectorate.

  • We welcome parental involvement!


    The involvement of parents/carers in their child's preschool experience plays a crucial role in building a firm foundation for future education. Input from and partnership with parents plays a crucial role in helping the children achieve the best possible outcomes.
