Preschool

Sunny View Preschool: the very best start to school life.

At Sunny View Preschool, we provide the highest standards of education and care for children aged between 2 and 5 years. We believe that a safe, nurturing, and fun environment is crucial to happy and healthy development. Our Preschool building is purpose-built for young children and thoughtfully designed both inside and out to consider their learning needs at the varying stages of development. Preschool follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) play-based curriculum, where an emphasis is placed on the child as an active learner who plays a central role in the construction of their own knowledge, skills and understanding.
