Holbrook Pre-school Family Open Day
Moorside Lane, DE56 0TW
Holbrook is a really friendly village Pre-School, run as a charity, supported by a committee of parents. They have wonderful facilities including a fabulous outdoor play area, refurbished last year, and two fantastic classrooms. They appreciate that all children learn differently and thrive in different environments. To reflect this, the two rooms are equipped very differently. The sensory room is a calm space, with low lighting and lots of sensory experiences. The construction room is an area for much louder play, such as construction and imaginative play. Children can choose their preferred environment, as we operate a free flow system which allows them to move freely between the two rooms and outside.
