The Pre-school started in Whitwell and moved to Niton primary school grounds in 1994. At that point we became Niton Village Play Group but eventually changed our name to Niton Pre-School. We are now a successful pre-school, run by a Board of Directors. In June 2013 the pre-school took over the running and administration of Brighstone Play Group. After a major redecoration effort, the Brighstone Preschool is now functioning well and received its first OFSTED report in 2014, which reported the pre-school as 'Good'. The Board of Directors and Staff aim for the Pre-school to develop its services further, which will enable the Brighstone Pre-School to achieve a higher rating in the coming years.
At both preschools we believe that each child is valued as an individual member of the group and wider community so that they have a strong self-image and high self-esteem. We strive to create an atmosphere of fun and friendship between all staff, children and their families. Although we are a Company there is an emphasis on the Pre-school being community run, with a strong feeling of parental involvement and ownership.
