Theme for this term

This half term we will be looking at the signs of Spring.  This will include looking at different flowers, mini beasts, baby animals, growing and Easter. There will be lots of craft and cooking and we will have our annual delivery of caterpillars for the children to watch as they change into butterflies, before we release them.

Available now for eligible children

We are delighted to be able to offer our parents the option to use their 30 hours of free childcare under the new government scheme.  Subject to eligibility and demand, sessions are running from 9am to 3.15pm Monday to Friday to enable parents to take full advantage of the offer.  See www.gov.uk for more information or contact us.. ​

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.

Parent Questionnaire.

We are delighted that our most 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.
