Friezland Forest Private Pre School is based at St Mary's CE Primary School, offering superb early years provision for 3 4-year-olds. This exciting development is part of our strategy to secure the long-term future of our school by strengthening our community from the very beginning of the learning journey.
Friezland brings a well-established, nurturing approach to early years education, ensuring children thrive in a warm, play-based environment and are well-prepared for school life. We re asking all members of our St Mary's family to help us spread the word - to neighbours, friends, and local groups - so that more families can take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.
We can't wait to welcome our youngest learners! To reserve a place email or by calling 01457 874 491. Please use the link below to find out more about the provision. On behalf of all Governors, staff and children I am delighted to welcome you to St Mary s.
