Welcome to Dundry Pre-School

Dundry Preschool Safeguarding team and all of our staff are committed to safeguarding all of the children in our care at all times. 

An Ofsted registered and inspected Pre-school based in the village of Dundry, South Bristol. We are open each weekday from 9:00am-3:00pm Monday to Thursday & 9:00am-2:30pm on Friday’s

We offer 15hours of funding for all children from the term following their third birthday and we also offer 15 child places of 30 hours of funding for eligible children with working parents also from the term following their third birthday. To check eligibility and for further information on funded places, including eligibility and 30hr funding, please: visit www.childcarechoices.gov.uk 

The Pre-school is based in Dundry Village Hall backing onto a fantastic field, with a children’s playground. We also have an enclosed garden the children can use throughout the session (weather dependant). We take children from 2 years until they start school. As well as Children from Dundry Village, we take pupils from all around South Bristol, for example Whitchurch, Bishopsworth, Withywood, Headley Park, Highridge and Hartcliffe. 

We have highly qualified staff and work in line with Government recommended ratios. We pride ourselves in developing close relationships with the children and their families. 

The Pre-school has great links within the village to the local school, farm and church.

What’s new at Pre School? Thursday 25th April 2024

We have lots of topics planned for this term, starting with pet week and onto Earth & recycling week, in support of Earth Day being celebrated across the country and within Dundry itself on Saturday 27th April – with information and fun being held at both the church and Village hall – everyone welcome! We will also be covering the topics of space, farm animals, weather and dinosaurs, for the remaining weeks this term. 

Our Newsletter has just gone out, so please look out for this as it has plenty of information and diary dates for the coming summer terms. 

The weather is very changeable still, so warm coats/raincoats/wellies and who knows – perhaps even sunhats will be required in the coming weeks! Sun cream also hopefully!

A reminder also that we are a nut free setting, so packed lunches must not contain any products that contain nuts. Please also ensure that your child brings only water to drink, as no flavoured waters or juices are permitted. Milk and water are also on offer every morning for snacktime.
