Church Crescent Pre-school

A Warm and Nurturing Environment for Young Minds

345 Preschools proudly provides high-quality early years education for children aged 2-4 in two conveniently located Muswell Hill settings. Established over 50 years ago, we are a charity run by a dedicated team of professionals and inspiring parents, all passionate about fostering a love of learning and creativity in young minds.

Our History and Values

Our journey began in Church Crescent in 1967 as a parent-run playgroup, driven by a community's need for accessible childcare. Today, we operate two Ofsted-rated preschools - Springfield and Pages Lane - upholding our founding principles of:

• Community: We prioritize collaboration and partnership with parents as integral members of our preschool family.
• Accessibility: We are committed to providing quality care and education regardless of background or financial means.
• Learning through Play: We believe in the power of play-based learning to foster holistic development and social skills.
• Cultural Sensitivity: We celebrate diversity and encourage open-mindedness in our inclusive environment.

Our Approach to Learning

Our experienced practitioners tailor our curriculum to nurture young minds through various activities and play-based learning experiences. We focus on:

• Creative exploration: Encouraging artistic expression through music, drama, and art projects.
• Early literacy: Engaging children in reading stories, phonics, and storytelling sessions.
• Social development: Facilitating teamwork, collaboration, and empathy through group games and cooperative projects.
• Physical development: Encouraging exploration, movement, and discovery through outdoor play and physical activities.

Our Locations and Facilities

Springfield: Situated in the heart of Alexandra Park, our modern and spacious setting offers an idyllic outdoor space and abundant natural light.

Both locations benefit from:
