Welcome to our Website
Sydling Springs Preschool is a small community run preschool that caters for children from Sydling Saint Nicholas, Cerne Abba and surrounding villages. We run as a volunteer led charity with aim of providing the best care and environment for our children to grow up in.
Our latest Ofsted report from July 2008 rated us as good in all areas. You can read the full report on the Ofsted site. Sydling Springs Preschool Ofsted Report. Some highlights from the report are:
"Staff make good use of the spacious outside area to provide a suitable range of activities"
"Children are happy, settled and secure"
"Staff set appropriate challenges linked to each child's interests, use effective questioning to encourage children to think, recall and solve problems"
