"Oh, to bag a nursery place here! Oversubscribed Mill House Pre-School has grown up around an idyllic little cottage next to a babbling brook, woodland and gorgeous gardens."

Our play-based curriculum is balanced with the challenge and academic ethos of Giggleswick School, which inspires children to develop a love of learning from an early age and achieve their personal best based on a real understanding of their own abilities.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Curriculum, alongside an amazing range of enrichment activities to support your child’s learning:
-
Swimming in our heated pool*
-
Languages with a qualified linguist
-
Daily Phonics and Maths sessions
-
PE in our purpose-built sports hall
-
Outdoor learning in our forest school
-
Ballet lessons with our dance specialist
-
Welly walks, pond dipping and nature trails
Like the rest of Giggleswick School, the focus remains on providing a broad educational experience within a supportive and nurturing environment, giving the children the very best start both academically and socially.
