P K Pre School

Welcome to PK Preschool

=====================

PK Preschool is a small, purpose-built Ofsted Outstanding preschool located in the heart of Grayshott Village. Established in 1987 by Penny and Kay, PK has become a popular pre-school that provides care, learning, and preparation for School to families in Grayshott and surrounding Villages. Over the years, we have successfully built strong links with local schools and the community.

At PK Preschool, we pride ourselves on supporting each child to grow in confidence while they learn new skills to support them in their early years, before starting School. We provide expert care and education in a secure and fun environment, giving each child the opportunity to develop their social, creative, and academic skills. We plan activities that complement the needs and interests of each child, working closely with parents/carers and encouraging their involvement. We also listen to feedback from both children and their parents/guardians and encourage equality and diversity in everything that we do.
