Welcome to Rattlesden Preschool



Rattlesden  Preschool (formerly Rattlesden Playgroup) was established over 45 years ago in order to provide a facility for local children to play and grow in self confidence and independence. Our pre-school is a registered charity run on a not-for-profit basis and is available to all families in the community of Rattlesden and the surrounding areas.

Rattlesden Preschool continually aims to help children in their physical, intellectual, emotional and social development through play, with a secure and caring environment. At preschool we encourage the children to grow in self confidence, gain independence, learn new skills, and enjoy meeting other children and adults.

A message from the Reception Teacher at Rattlesden school included the following comments: 
'The children have all settled in really well and were independent from the beginning. Getting changed for PE is a breeze this year so thanks for the work you put in. We sent out a questionnaire to all new parents asking how they felt transition went. Lots of the comments praised the way you work with us so a big thank you for that too'
