Poppets & Little Poppets Pre-Schools

At Poppets and Little Poppets Pre-Schools we provide a fun, caring and welcoming atmosphere where all children are encouraged to achieve to their full potential, through nurturing, loving and friendly relationships and a stimulating environment. We believe that every child deserves to feel loved and valued and we support them in developing their own unique character.

We also have a lot of experience of working with children with special and additional needs. We have cared for children with Downs Syndrome, Autism, Aspergers, speech + language difficulties, physical disabilities and complex health needs. Staff have attended numerous specialised training courses and work closely with other professionals. In September 2018 we became an Inclusion Hub, receiving specialist training in a range of disabilities and therapies. 

Our settings have excellent links with all the local schools. We also have a good professional relationship with the local Childrens Centre and work closely with our Local Authority Early Years Inclusion and Improvement Officers.

Poppets and Little Poppets Pre-Schools are owned by Poppets Childcare Ltd., with Laura Phillips as the Director. Laura has a Foundation Degree in Early Years and all staff are experienced in childcare. A large number of staff also hold childcare qualifications at Level 3 or above. All staff have enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks and are qualified in paediatric first aid. They are also trained in child protection and food hygiene. Further training for staff is performed on a regular basis.
