About East Leake Preschool Playgroup
A warm, nurturing charity preschool - rooted in community for over 60 years.
Home from home in the heart of the village
East Leake Preschool Playgroup is a long-established, committee-run charity that has been supporting children and families in our community for over 60 years. We are proud to offer a warm, nurturing environment where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to learn.
Our setting is designed to feel like a home from home, where children can explore, play, and grow at their own pace. We have three dedicated spaces to support different stages of development.
Three rooms, one caring team

Our sensory space, providing a calm and engaging environment to support children’s individual needs.
Sensory supportAt the heart of everything: GROW
Embedded into our everyday practice - guiding children as they develop confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
We meet children where they are, with patience and kindness in every interaction.
Every voice matters - children, families, and staff learn from one another.
Curiosity is celebrated; mistakes are part of growing.
Your voice matters
As a committee-run setting, we rely on the support and involvement of our families. We actively encourage parents and carers to volunteer and be part of our committee, giving you a voice in how the setting is run and helping us continue to provide the best possible experience for all children.
