About

Teaching encompasses an enriched pre-school curriculum within a safe and thoughtfully designed early learning environment. The Hive, Clifton Highs Pre-School, offers the very best start to an Early Years education, ensuring the highest quality care in a safe and thoughtfully designed environment.

Our dedicated team of qualified and extremely experienced teachers and Early Years educators work in partnership with parents to support and introduce young children to School life. Drawing upon individual potential, we carefully establish solid education foundations which compassionately encourage all our children to become confident and secure learners.

At this early stage, we carefully observe play to develop purposeful activities that acknowledge a childs preferred learning style as well as consider individual interests and needs.

Our observational teaching ethos, together with asking appropriate and timely, thought-provoking questions, naturally creates opportunities that tap into a child's deeper thinking skills to challenge an enquiring mind.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
