Pre-school childcare
We have pre-school facilities for children of ages 2 to 5 years. Rated 'Good' by Ofsted, activities are carefully planned to provide learning through play, education and care. The pre-school is a bright, warm environment with a fully-equipped outdoor play area where the developmental and social needs of children are met.
The pre-school opens from Monday to Friday, 9am to 3:30pm. You can book a place for your child or children whilst attending courses at the Grays Adult Education Centre. Contact us to check availability as pre-booking is essential.
You can visit the pre-school during term time and speak to our childcare supervisor, then complete a registration form and pay the £15 registration fee to register your child.
