Welcome to Bideford Baptist
Pre-school & Toddlers
We are a registered charity and member of the Early Years Alliance, which is a national charity in the field of care and education for under 5’s. We are the largest pre-school in Torridge, catering for more than 100 families.
Our pre-school caters for children aged between 2 and 5 years and open Monday - Thursday 8.00-4.00 and Friday 8.00-1.00.
From January 2025 our Toddler Group will be open Monday & Friday mornings 9.30 -11.30 (term time only)
During the holidays we can be contacted by email on bidefordbaptistpreschool@msn.com
In line with the Early Years Alliance policy, the Pre-school & Toddler groups are run by an annually selected committee of parents/carers. It relies on everyone’s support and involvement throughout the year in both helping/attending fund-raising activities and working with staff for the best outcomes for your child.
Without the committee there is no Pre-school.
We are registered with and inspected by OFSTED . You can see the details of our latest report here.
We can therefore accept children who are eligible for the Early Years 15/30 hours Funding and 2 Year Old Funding.
Our aim is to provide a safe and caring environment where children are given the opportunity to learn through play without fear of rejection or failure.
