About St Matthews Pre School

Established in 1989, our childcare facility is conveniently located within the grounds of Stretton St Matthew's Primary School, offering easy access and ample parking for parents. Situated in St Matthew's Church Hall, we provide a safe and enclosed external play area with outdoor equipment for children's enjoyment.

Each day, our main hall transforms with a variety of engaging activities, including arts and crafts, messy play, role-play, and a quiet space for reading, ensuring a dynamic learning environment.

We take great pride in our strong partnerships with Stretton St Matthew's Primary School and St Matthew's Church, fostering a sense of community. Regular visits to both the school and church further enhance this connection, and we also arrange visits for school leavers to meet their new teachers and explore their future classrooms.

As a registered charity, we operate under the Early Years Learning Alliance 2011 constitution, and are managed by a committee of dedicated parents. Our commitment to quality childcare is recognised by our "Outstanding" rating from OFSTED in February 2019. Parents are welcome to review our current OFSTED report and annual charity commission report through the links below.
