Poppleton Under Fives is a modern and fun pre-school located in the New Hall at the rear of the Methodist Church just off the village green in the heart of the tranquil village of Upper Poppleton.
We provide a safe, stimulating and caring environment in which your child can learn and develop through activities and creative play appropriate to their age, including in our large and enclosed outdoor garden space.
Our pre-school sessions are suitable for all pre-school aged children from 2 yrs of age onwards, nurturing, developing and supporting them on their learning journey until they are ready for school. We have experienced and caring staff who generally work on an engaging and supportive ratio of 1:5 staff:children across the session.
Our pre-school sessions run from 8.30 am – 3.30 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 8.30 am – 12 pm on Friday mornings, during term-time.
We also run a ‘Popp and Play’ weekly drop in for parents to attend with any child(ren) aged 0-4 years on Friday mornings, as well as an outdoor parent & toddler Group on Monday mornings called ‘Little Friends of Millenium Green’, both also during term-time.
From October 2025 we will begin to run a Holiday Club in half term holidays and during the Easter and Summer Breaks, so if you are looking for flexible childcare which can cover a little bit more than school term time but without a big extra bill, then get in touch.
We want all the children who come to us to reach their full potential, so we place a great deal of emphasis on working with parents and carers so that every child gets the most from their time with us. We are registered with Ofsted and follow the government’s EYFS framework .
As we have recently re-registered as a CIO and transferred all our operations to our new legal entity we don’t have a current Ofsted report for our new organisation, but you can look at our most recent Ofsted report, for our previous registration, by contacting our Manager, Victoria Pawson. We are the same great setting, just now operating as a CIO
