Welcome To FVFC Preschool
Our Statement
’Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not turn from it.’ (The Holy Bible)
We place high emphasis on Christian values and teachings such as care and concern for others, obedience, respect etc. The pre-school nativity is held in conjunction with Messy Church. All children are welcome irrespective of faith and you do not have to go to church in order to attend.

Our Aims
- We provide a stimulating, fun, and caring environment, where we believe all children can reach their full potential. We work together with you to ensure that they are happy and that they feel safe, secure and valued.
- We aim to create an environment within which your child will learn to respect and care for themselves, others and their environment.
- We offer an exciting, balanced curriculum which will enable all children to develop the social, emotional, physical, communication and cognitive skills necessary for school.
- Through play, we aim to help children build their self-confidence and promote development by providing activities which will allow them to explore, extend their thinking, make decisions and develop independence.
- We work closely with the relevant First Schools to ensure a smooth transition for your child.
Our Fees
Fees are £4.00 per hour. Your child will be entitled to receive up to 15 hours government funding the term after they turn 3. We are unable to waive fees for absences due to holidays or sickness. We are a registered non-profit making charity and aim to keep our prices as reasonable as possible while still being able to provide quality staffing and resources. We ask for a £5.00 non-refundable deposit should you wish to reserve a place and are new to the pre-school. We do not ask for any top-up fees (just one piece of fruit to share at snack time!) Further information is in our ‘Fees and Funding’ Policy
