Rattlesden Preschool (formerly playgroup) was established in 1970 . It is a community preschool which firmly believes in learning through play. We are affiliated to the Early Years Alliance and work in partnership with Suffolk County Council. Our strength lies in the fact that we work as a team to provide the best care for our preschool children. We encourage our children to”think outside the box” and to be creative. Learning through play allows children to explore their world. You are welcome to visit us to see us in action. If another responsible adult is collecting your child from a session, please inform a member of staff when you drop your child at pre school or confirm it in writing. During the session, the safety chain is on the door. We have a strict policy on Child Protection and all our staff have received training in this area.
