Welcome to The Lenches Pre-school, a not-for-profit charity that prides itself on providing the highest quality professional child care for children aged 2, 3, and 4. Our dedicated team of early years educators is committed to creating a nurturing and enriching environment that fosters young children's growth and development.
At The Lenches Pre-school, we believe that every child is unique and deserves equal access to opportunity and learning. That's why we offer limited places for 2-year-olds and accept children from their second birthday. We offer funded hours for eligible families, allowing us to provide high-quality care that is accessible to all.
Our setting is a small parent-led village pre-school that has been running since the 1960s. We have close community links and welcome children and families from all communities. Our pre-school is registered with Ofsted and the compulsory and voluntary parts of the Childcare register, ensuring that we meet the highest standards of care and education.
We are located in the heart of Church Lench Village, surrounded by stunning countryside. We are just an 11-minute drive from Evesham and 8 minutes from Bishampton, making us easily accessible to families in the area.
Our Facilities
At The Lenches Pre-school, we offer a range of facilities that provide a safe and fun learning environment for young children. These include:
- Forest School: Our forest school is set amongst a beautiful orchard where children can build confidence and explore new levels of learning. Our educators use the natural environment to engage children in hands-on activities that promote their physical, social, and emotional development.
- Garden: Our secure outdoor play area is available all year round, allowing children to enjoy the fresh air and engage in activities that promote their physical development.
- Stay & Play Sessions: Every Friday between 9.30 and 11 am, during term time, we run sessions in the field next to the pre-school. These sessions are open to all children and provide an opportunity for families to enjoy quality time together while engaging in fun activities that promote children's learning and development.

Our Community
At The Lenches Pre-school, we have close links with Church Lench CE First School. This connection provides a smooth transition for children who attend our pre-school and then move on to the primary school. It also allows us to collaborate with the school to provide the best possible outcomes for all children.
We are committed to promoting British Values as part of our Early Years Curriculum. These values include democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect, and tolerance. We believe that these values are essential for children to become responsible and engaged citizens.
