About Us
About Burwood Preschool
Burwood Preschool is a registered charity.
In order for the preschool to run successfully we need an active group of volunteers to include parents of children at the preschool to run the Trustees Committee and to help with fundraising events throughout the year. Any help from you as a parent, especially in the area of fundraising is greatly appreciated by the staff, committee and of a direct benefit to the children at the preschool. Burwood Preschool needs successful fundraising efforts to take place throughout the year to help the preschool prosper. So if you feel you can offer assistance or have ideas for a new fundraising event, please do not hesitate to contact us and a member of the committee will be in touch to discuss. Your enthusiasm and support is greatly appreciated!

Health & Safety
The health and safety of children in our care is always our first priority. Whilst we believe in encouraging children to be independent and explore their environment, our first thought is always for their safety.
We understand that occasional knocks and bumps can happen with young children but are always fully prepared to deal with any accidents that may occur whilst your child is with us. Our preschool team always includes staff with a full paediatric first aid certificate and we provide regular first aid training to ensure staff are kept up to date.
Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
As a preschool we promote inclusion and all our children will have equal opportunities to achieve their induvial goals.
Our SENCo supports our practitioners through providing intervention group, target work and a differentiation of activities to ensure all children feel included.
When required our SENCo can put in referrals for some outside agencies in order to further support the children and their families.
