We have been a part of The Revel school family since September 2016, offering quality Early Years Education and secure transitions through to The Revel Reception unit and beyond.
We are open daily during term time between 9am and 3.30pm and offer places to children aged 2 years 9 months and upwards until they move on to Reception. Extended care beyond those hours is available through the Revel Kids Club which is based at Monks Kirby.
We have a small but experienced and dedicated team of practitioners who offer children a warm, welcoming and stable environment with age-appropriate structure and learning experiences. Early Birds is a single room setting, purpose built for education with exciting, safe outdoor space.
We are based in the Old School Building in Harborough Magna and offer a maximum of 24 places per session. We benefit greatly from being a part of the village community in which we are located.
