They are open from 8am until 6pm and a lot of the staff will help out with baby sitting outside school hours. You get a written report of what your little one has been up to each day and it's open all year round which is very handy indeed if you are a working single parent. I don't have much experience of these places but I like it and more importantly, so does my daughter.

They love the light, airy room, which is stacked full of all kinds of toys and art equipment. There are usually plenty of other children to make friends with too. It's becoming very popular, so it's best to either book in advance or get there early to guarantee entry, especially at the weekend. It's not cheap, at £5 for the first hour and £2.50 for each additional 30 minutes, but considering what's provided, and the level of security in place, it's worth it for a couple of childfree shopping hours. Be aware that although you can leave buggies, for an additional charge, you can't leave any bags with them, even if they're full of child-related paraphernalia.

Wayside Early Years is a pre-school setting attached, although not part of, Beaufort school…read more The setting prefers free-play to structured teaching but each child will have a weekly target which will be worked on by the staff through that free play. There are two classes, the first Sunshine from 2 1/2 to about 3 1/2. The children then progress to Rainbow where the time is a little more structured. There is a craft area shared bewteen the two classes for messy play. This area also doubles as a cafe area for snack time. Children are encouraged to be as self-sufficient as possible although staff are always alert to their needs. Outdoor play in encouraged and children will spend 30 mins outside in all weathers save for the extreme when there is danger. The environment is warm and welcoming and the OFSTED reports speak highly of the setting. Sessions run in either the morning or afternoon. There is no lunch provision. Special needs are catered for.
