Information
Middleton Cheney Pre-School (MCP) is a village community facility, a non-profit making registered charity which is affiliated to the Pre-School Learning Alliance. MCP is managed by a voluntary committee made up of parents and is subject to regular OFSTED inspections.
MCP employs a team of staff who possess appropriate qualifications in early childhood development and education. A broad based curriculum of learning through play is offered for preschool children over the age of two and a half years.
MCP is open for seven sessions per week, from 9am to 12.00, Monday to Friday plus Monday and Thursday afternoons 1-4pm. MCP is licensed to accommodate a maximum of 26 children per session.
As a team, the committee of parent volunteers and the staff work to create a stimulating and friendly environment in which children's first experience of learning through play outside their homes is both a pleasant and fulfilling one.
The Sessions
The pre-school organises its sessions so that children can choose from a range of activities and, in doing so, build up their confidence to select a task then work it through to its completion. The children are encouraged to take part in adult-supported small/large group activities as well as totally child-led activities. These introduce them to new experiences/skills and help them to work alongside others. The children also have the opportunity to take part in a range of outdoor activities and children are free to access outdoor experiences during sessions. Although we offer a selection of free choice craft activities regularly, we believe it is more important to focus on the process of creating, rather than the finished product. Our workshop area allows children to freely access materials to create in both 2D and 3D. Science based, imaginative small world and role-play activities offer a great opportunity to develop children's creativity, vocabulary, problem-solving and social skills.
