Welcome to Our Preschool
Chanctonbury Preschool is situated in a quiet lane in Ashington Village, West Sussex. It is within easy reach of the surrounding villages including Storrington, Pulborough, Steyning, Sullington, Thakeham, Washington and West Chiltington.
New Starters
Our new starters - whatever their age- are supported to make the transition between home and Chanctonbury Preschool with gentle care and we move at their speed working closely with you to make it a truly happy experience
Preschool
All our children have the opportunity to play indoors or outdoors as they wish and we provide a wide range of toys and equipment that they can mostly access themselves. If a child has a specific interest we will strive to provide opportunities and resources to explore it further.
Busy Bees
In the year leading up to their next step to school, our "Busy Bees" have their own classroom with resources and activities suitable for the next level of learning. They have short period of adult lead listening and attention activity and / or working cooperatively in a group.
