About Southgate West

Pre-School

Southgate West Pre-School is a committee run Pre-School and started about 1970 by parents that had connections with Southgate West First and Middle Schools. The Pre-School is controlled by a committee of parents that are elected every year, who with the staff, run the group as a non-profit organisation for the benefit of the local community.

We are registered with the Charities Commission (No. 1022363) and all the fundraising profits are used to support the group and improve its resources.

Children can start at Southgate West Pre-School from the age of 3 years old. Sessions are held Monday to Friday mornings from 9.00 am-12.00 pm, and the afternoon sessions are 12.00 -3.00 pm. Children can stay for the full day, 9.00 am – 3.00 pm. There is an option of an 8.30 am drop off at a charge of £3 this will have to be booked in advance. The cost of an unfunded session is £18.

Our aim is to enhance the development and education of the children under the statutory school age, in a parent involving community-based group, and provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment. We know that parents/carers are the first and most important educators of their young children, and children learn better when their parents are involved.
