Church Walk Playgroup was established in (approximately) 1972 and changed it's name to Church Walk Pre-school in April 1997.   We were registered as a Charity in September 1994 and relocated as Church Walk Pre-School Nursery in July 2000.  In August 2005 we became incorporated and our name was changed to Church Walk Pre-school Nursery Limited.  A committee of parents and volunteers manages the group.

We operate on a term time only basis and offer a Breakfast Club & After School Club for Nursery children and pupils attending Church Walk CofE Primary School, Ulverston.

We are registered with:

Our Aim is:

• To enhance the care, development and educational needs of children in a parent centred, community-based group
• To provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment.
• To work within a framework which ensures equality for all children and families.

We offer your child:

• A 1:5 adult to child ratio is maintained for children who are under three years of age and 1:8 for children over the age of 3.
• Planned activities to follow the guidelines in the Early Years Foundation Stage. (EYFS)
• Each child is allocated a Key Person who is responsible for recording your child’s development in the EYFS.  The Key Person liaises with parents/carers to establish a good rapport.
• Opportunities for you as parents/carers to discuss your child’s development and any concerns at a pre-arranged time with your child’s Key Person. More formal Parental Interviews are arranged twice a year.
• Opportunities for you and your family to be directly involved in the activities of the group and in your child’s progress.
• The government funded 15 hours for children aged 3 and 4 in term after your child’s third birthday. These hours can be used in both the Acorns and Oaks room.  We accept the new 30 hours working families entitlement for children.
• We also have children who are entitled to funding at 2 years old. Please see https://www.beststartinlife.co.uk  for more information.
