Ilkley Preschool, Ilkley’s longest standing provider of early years education since 1968, has relocated to new premises at Ilkley Cricket Club on Middleton Avenue.
Having to leave its previous site, which was home to the pre-school for over five decades, the trustees, staff, local councillors, MP’s and local community pulled together to assist in finding the pre-school a new site.
Now situated at the stunning grounds of Ilkley Cricket Club, the playgroup says the central location and community benefit of joining the sports club with the pre-school will only bring improvements to the site for the local community.
Tracy Fearnley, The Preschool manager, commented:
“This is a very positive step forward for our pre-school. The new premises provide us with longer opening hours, a new and varied curriculum with the excellent facilities and outdoor green space, the resources and space to further enhance the learning experience for children, while maintaining the warm and welcoming ethos that our families value so highly. We are excited to welcome both current and new families into this new chapter.”
The new setting offers a spacious indoor area, improved facilities and outdoor play areas, all tailored to the needs of preschool-aged children. The relocation ensures that the highly qualified staff can continue to deliver a broad curriculum and nurturing approach.
The pre-school is now accepting registrations for the upcoming term and invites prospective families to arrange a visit to view the facilities and meet the teaching team.
