About Us

The Manager, Val Brown started a coffee morning/ Mother and Toddler group in 1982; we gradually expanded and became a playgroup in 1993.  The nursery became a charity in 1996.

In 1999 we became Eastwood Preschool opening 5 full days a week delivering not only care but also education for under 5’s.

In 2004 we successfully obtained funding to build a purpose built nursery and in 2015 we became a Charitable Incorporate Organisation (CIO).

We have achieved a rating of 5 which covers both food and hygiene throughout the nursery.

Playground Project
In 2017 we were given some additional land to extend our playground. We raised over £34,000 to develop and resource our new playground through funding, fundraising and donations.

All our care staff are qualified to NVQ Level 2, 3, 4 and Foundation Degree.  In addition to this our Staff regularly attend courses.

We also have students and volunteers who attend our nursery on placement as a part of their training and for experience.

We also employ a Cook, Kitchen Assistant and Cleaner.

We also have a Management Committee (Manager, two Deputies and Finance Officer) who are responsible for the finance and day to day running of the nursery.

As a Charitable Incorporated Organisation we also have a Board of Trustees who are dedicated volunteers with a wealth of knowledge who oversee the CIO.
