Pre-School

Scruton Pre-school

Scruton Pre-school provides, in a safe and controlled environment, the opportunity for children to experience a planned variety of activities designed to introduce the wide range of skills needed by children growing up in our society. Pre-school provides an environment in which children can learn whilst having fun. Children are encouraged to socialise and to increase their language development,whilst parents have the chance to meet new friends and become accustomed to their child's growing independence.

Scruton Pre-school was established in 1976 and in the Summer of 2005 relocated to Ainderby Steeple Primary School. The group shares a classroom with Steeple People Out of School Club. Pre-School provides excellent indoor and outdoor facilities.

Scruton Pre-school is a registered charity and is registered with Ofsted (ref.EY311885). the group has been accredited by the Pre-school Learning Alliance and is registered with the Local Authority Social Services.

We are a provider within the North Yorkshire County Council Early Years Partnership.
