About us
We are here to help parents raise happy and healthy children
Our aim is to provide an environment that is inclusive and enriched and that offers a high standard of education in a stimulating and happy place.
We all need support through the most important period of our children: the early years
Hedge End Village Hall Preschool has a strong partnership between home and preschool, liaising closely with parents, other professionals and linking with our community.
We are a charity preschool, so all profits made go straight back into the setting to improve facilities and enrich the environment for the benefit of our children, their education, and future steps.
