Guided by Passionate People
At Whitchurch Forest Pre-school, our team is made up of experienced, caring individuals who believe in the power of child-led learning and outdoor exploration. Each day, our staff bring energy, creativity and kindness to help children grow in confidence, independence and joy.
Behind the scenes, we’re supported by a small group of dedicated volunteer trustees—parents and friends of the setting—who help shape the direction of the preschool and ensure it thrives as a warm, community-led environment.
