About Briary Pre-School
We are a committee and charity run Pre-School, on the grounds of Thornden Wood Primary School. We operate independently from the primary school but benefit from the fabulous links we have made with the school as our collaborative neighbour. We also benefit from being on the same community campus as The Briary Family Family Hub (Briary Children's Centre)
We are situated at the rear of the school car park in a lovely big log cabin with two great outdoor areas. We offer spaces for children age two years old to five years old and run term time only (38 Weeks). At Briary Pre-School we follow the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework to ensure every child's early years experiences are happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and support their development, care and learning needs.

Key Persons
At Briary Preschool, every child is put into a key group with a key person.
What is a key person and what do they do?
A key person is a named staff member who helps and supports your child settle into preschool, giving them the reassurance to feel safe and cared for throughout their time at preschool.
The key person will be giving you regular updates on how your child is progressing in their learning and development, helping them gain their confidence and form a successful relationship with others as they grow older.
