From September 2017

We are delighted to be able to offer our parents the option to use their 30 hours of free childcare from September 2017, under the new government scheme.  Subject to eligibility and demand, sessions will be added on Monday, Thursday and Friday afternoon to enable parents to take full advantage of the offer.  See www.gov.uk for more information or contact us.. 

Summer Theme:
Holidays & the beach

Our role play area will be transformed into a beach cafe and the children will be able to sell ice creams.  We will be looking at what we take on holiday and packing suitcases, as well as looking at how we might travel. The children will be making postcards and (weather permitting) making and flying kites.

Towards the end of term we will focus on transitions for those children who will be moving up to school.  We will spend time talking about their new setting and will have some uniform for the children to see.  We will be welcoming teachers from both Barley and Barkway First School's to visit the children in their current environment and get to know them.

Barkway Market

The Barkway Preschool Committee would like to thank all those who supported the FOBBS/Preschool cafe at the Barkway Village Market this year.  We raised £1125!

Parent Questionnaire.

We are delighted to be able to report the recent parent survey results were outstanding. 100% of the parents who responded would recommend Barkway Preschool to other families.  Full details are available upon request.

Toddler Group

Our stay and play mother and toddler group runs every Wednesday morning throughout term time from 9.30a.m. to 11.30p.m.  You'll find us at Barkway Village Hall and the session costs £3 per child and £1 for each sibling/baby under 6 months.  We even run sessions through some of the school holidays - join our Facebook group for updates @Barkway Toddler Group.
