Pre-School Life
Our Meals
Forest Row Community Pre-School provides hot meals at lunchtime and during After-School Club, as well as healthy snacks during both morning and afternoon sessions.
We eat our meals together family style, which helps our children try new foods and supervising adults can encourage healthy eating habits by role modeling them. Eating together also supports development of motor, language, and social skills, and provides opportunities for children to learn about food.
The Pre-School team are experienced in adapting the menu to take into account specific dietary requirements with ease.

School Uniform
With all the opportunities for outings, inside and outside free flow, and messy play, we ask parents to support our active environment by ensuring their children are prepared with a variety of clothing and items such as plimsolls and wellies.
There are no branded uniform requirements for these items but the Pre-School does facilitate regular school uniform orders from our suppliers through the year.
Theory in Practice
The team use a range of theorists to construct the curriculum and philosophy of the Pre-School. Click below for a detailed list of theorists who have informed the different areas of our practice. We take a little from many different people to create our own practice and theories on child learning.
More recently we have engaged with ‘new’ experts in the field to continue developing. These have included Anna Ephgrave’s planning in the moment, Elizabeth Jarmin’s Communication Friendly Spaces, Trisha Lee’s story scribing method and the Curiosity Approach.
