Description

Established in 2006, Brighthelm Pre-School is conveniently based in the centre of Brighton, near the train station, Jubilee library and Churchill square. We provide quality, affordable and flexible care for two to five year olds from 8.15am – 3.15pm. We have a newly refurbished, friendly, safe and stimulating environment where children are seen as individuals. The Pre-School rooms are bright and welcoming, packed with quality educational resources and toys designed to support and nurture children’s learning. Prices are from £12 per 3 hour session. You can contact the Pre-school directly during office hours on 01273 964223 or by email preschool@brighthelm.org.uk All of our children are registered and attend on specific days. OFSTED rate us as ‘Good’ and we work alongside other outside agencies including Brighton & Hove City Council. Although we are supported by Brighthelm United Reformed Church, we are a multi-faith setting in which we celebrate all faiths and religions equally. We are dedicated to equality for children and families regardless of race, colour, religious beliefs, social background, parental status or ability. At Brighthelm extra support is available for children who require it e.g. bilingual support or support for special educational needs. We provide an environment in which children can settle easily and thrive. For them to achieve their maximum potential feeling secure happy and safe is our main objective. We actively listen to children and their comments, suggestions and views are incorporated into our weekly planning. We encourage feedback from parents/ carers about their child’s interests whilst outside pre-school through our children interest sheets which are given out once a term but available to take daily. These are then used to plan for the child’s individual interests and learning needs. Parents are encouraged to voice their views and opinions and be an active part of their child’s education. We revise policies and procedures in accordance with this feedback and use it to evaluate our practice. We have a ‘key person’ system in which a member of staff is allocated to each family. The key person is then responsible for liaising with the family every step of the way during their time at Brighthelm. We have experienced and qualified staff, supported by a dedicated team of volunteers. All staff /volunteers are safely recruited in accordance with guidance from Local Authority and Local Safeguarding Children’s Board in safer recruitment practice.
