Littlemoor Preschool

Welcome to Littlemoor Preschool

​Boasley Cross Primary School’s pre-school provision.
​
We offer part time pre-school care for 3 and 4 year olds within our school setting -
open during term times on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Littlemoor preschool has opportunities for inside and outside learning in the school grounds and local area.

Led by Miss Smaridge and Mrs Allen, our dedicated team of Early Years practitioners provide a variety of fun and interactive activities to support children’s learning in a nurturing environment. 
​
Parents may use all or part of their 15 or 30 hours funded early years childcare for 3-4 year olds or 2 year old funding if your child is eligible. We also offer the uptake of additional/ paid sessions. 

The Department for Education has now published the Early Years Funding rates for 2026–2027. To ensure our Trust remains aligned with these national rates, the updated fees will apply to all bookings from 20th April 2026 across all DMAT nursery settings.

 If your child uses additional hours beyond their 15- or 30-hour entitlement, or if they do not receive funded hours, the new hourly rates will be £5.66 per hour (from the term after their 3rd birthday). This equates to £36.79 per daily session.

 Testimonials

•  "My daughter attended Preschool and loved her time there. We found the child led play and outdoor environment suited her. From kind and gentle settling in sessions for child and parent, to her transition into reception, it couldn’t have been smoother."
• "The smaller environment means that each child is cared for and loved to the maximum for their individuality."
• "We couldn’t speak highly enough of Boasley Cross."
• "My son has absolutely thrived in his reception year at Boasley Cross. Having attended the foundation Preschool within the school setting for a year prior to starting school has helped enormously. Having already found his feet and made friends with children throughout the school, it took away so much of the ‘starting school’ anxiety (both for him and us as parents!). He jumped into his learning with both feet and has gained such confidence over the year. I would truly recommend considering a foundation Preschool in a small school setting."
•  “Littlemoor Preschool has provided the perfect foundation for both of our children. The Preschool creates a positive environment for children to learn, play and develop friendships with their peers. The staff are invested in the wellbeing and success of each individual child which is reflected in the happiness and growth of those who attend. Small classroom sizes give Boasley Cross an overall feeling of family & community which is incredibly comforting for both children and parents. There is an emphasis on child led play and learning which includes a large connection to nature and the outdoors which was very important to us as a family. We cannot recommend Boasley enough.”
• “We couldn’t be more grateful for our experience with Boasley Preschool. After a difficult spell at another preschool, my son absolutely adored his time here. From the moment we arrived, it was clear why so many parents spoke so highly of Boasley – and now I’m very happy to do the same."
• "The staff are experienced, wholeheartedly committed, and genuinely caring. One of the things which sets Boasley apart is its size and atmosphere; every child is treated as a unique individual. There’s a family feel throughout the setting, which is hard to find these days in childcare."
• "The transition from Littlemoor Preschool into primary education is seamless and actually one the children really look forward to. My daughter also attends the school and honestly it never feels like I’m just dropping her off at school, it feels like she’s heading to a place where she’ll learn, have fun, and make memories with her teachers and friends. The transition has been so smooth, and I feel she genuinely loves her time there."
• "Boasley has been, and is, a wonderful, nurturing place for my children, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to any parent looking for a special preschool experience”.
•  “My son has had such a wonderful experience at Littlemoor Preschool and it has prepared him so well for school there. The staff are so warm, and welcoming and the curriculum is the perfect balance of child led play and academics."
