Frequently asked questions

In order to give your child the best learning opportunities and the quickest settling in process we ask for a minimum of one full day or two sessions per week.

We encourage all parents to come and visit us before joining Happy Adventures Preschool. If you are interested in having a tour, please contact us by email or telephone to arranage a viewing. Unfortunately, due to safeguarding we are unable to show anyone around that hasn't made an appointment beforehand.

All 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to 15 hours of funding towards their early education. If you choose to use this funding at Happy Adventures Preschool your child will be able to attend 5 sessions per week with us which will be completely covered by their funding. Some families will also be entitled to 30 hours of funding which would cover a full time place.

We ask that all children have appropriate outdoor clothing so that they can enjoy their time with us. If you decide to register your child with us, you will be sent a recommended kit list. We are able to provide.

The children will go outside in all weathers. We find that as long as they have good outdoor clothing, are out of any biting wind and that their hands are warm, they are happy to play outdoors regardless of the weather. On cold days we will often have a campfire during snack time or warm up with a hot chocolate when we go back inside.

We have a specific area in the forest where we have 3 huts, which offer shelter and privacy for toileting. Children not used to toileting outside quickly adapt and staff are on hand to assist as needed. For children still in nappies, we have a special nappy changing area within the toilet huts. We also provide warm water and soap for hand washing after toileting.

We have an amazing indoor area within the church as well the forest and a cabin which we use as an outdoor classroom. The children use all 3 areas on a daily basis.
