Supporting your child at pre-school

Every child at Elgin Pre-school is paired with a dedicated key person — a consistent, friendly face for both you and your child. They lead the settling-in process, which typically spans six weeks, though we remain flexible to each child’s unique pace.

During this time, your key person will gather insights through observations, feedback from home, and your child’s own interests to map out their initial learning journey. We believe in a partnership approach, keeping you fully informed and involved in shaping a learning environment tailored to your child’s needs.

A day at Elgin Pre-school

From the moment your child arrives at pre-school to the moment they leave, we thoughtfully consider your child’s day to help them thrive, explore, and feel completely at home. Discover what a typical day looks like at Elgin Pre-school.

Our food

We provide your child with thoughtfully considered, balanced meals and snacks, which offer variation and taste to support your child’s developmental needs. Discover more about our mealtime regimes and how we manage food allergies and cultural preferences.

Safeguarding children

Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do at Elgin Pre-school — it defines who we are and shapes how we work. Discover how we protect and safeguard your child at our pre-school.
