From ‘mother helper’ in 2003 to Manager in 2023, I have loved and am still loving my time at Clyst Valley Preschool. My own children and stepchildren attended and are all now adults, but still talk about preschool with fond memories. I have met and worked with so many children and their families over the years and it never fails to amaze me how clever young children are.

We pride ourselves on ensuring the first steps of their educational journey are full of awe and wonder, whilst supporting them in developing their independence and self-esteem.
