Meet the Team and Our Vision
Harcourt Pre-School is an outstanding, co-operative pre-school nestled in Westbury Park, North Bristol. Established in 1956, we've been providing exceptional childcare to the local community for over 60 years. Our dedicated team of experienced and passionate educators are mothers themselves, united by a common vision to nurture young minds and empower children to reach their full potential.
Our Story and Values
Harcourt Pre-School began in a room of Harcourt Road, deriving its name from that first location. Today, we thrive in the spacious and welcoming environment of St Alban's Church hall. We remain a non-profit making organization with a strong commitment to delivering premium early childhood education in a safe and inspiring space.
Supporting Every Child's Journey
We believe every child learns differently. Our curriculum celebrates individuality and fosters a love for exploration and discovery through play-based learning. We proudly offer specialized support for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) with dedicated programs and resources.
A Day of Discovery and Growth
A typical school day at Harcourt Pre-School is filled with wonder and learning. We explore the world through creative exploration, nature walks, and engaging group activities. Our large and enclosed garden serves as our "outdoor classroom, " where children can connect with the natural world and develop a deep appreciation for the outdoors.
Learning Through Play
From exploring the natural world to building social skills and mastering essential learning concepts, our playful approach to education ensures a positive and stimulating environment. We celebrate festivals, nurture creative expression, and encourage healthy eating habits.
