Bluebells
Pre-school
Bluebells preschool is a small and friendly setting for children from age 3 years. Our happy and stimulating preschool provides an excellent start to children's educational journey.
Established by the governors of Badby School in 2011, the setting shares the site with Badby School. Our preschool is very much part of the school community, joining in assemblies and taking part in key school events. Being part of a school setting enables children to settle more quickly in their Reception Year and supports transition between the two.
Our Preschool Team:
Laura Fleuty - Manager Miss Stuart- Apprentice
Mrs Berrel- Assistant
