Playhouse Pre-School
Broadwater
Welcome to Playhouse
We are a private, independent Nursery offering excellent quality care for children aged 2-5 years old.
We have been established since 1979 and moved to our current location in the grounds of Longmeadow Primary School, Stevenage in 2008.
We are committed to ensuring that every child receives the best in pre-school education. We have a policy of constant staff training and all staff attend courses on a regular basis. Our staff to pupil ratio is, and has always been, above the legal requirement.
We take part in Government Funding for Nursery places.
Our last Ofsted inspection was carried out on 9th February 2017 the inspection report stated that 'This provision is good.'
We operate two rooms. Children from the age of 2 are welcomed into the Caterpillar Room and progress into the Butterfly Room after they turn 3 years old.
Our aim
Our aim at Playhouse Pre-School is to provide a safe, happy, stimulating, creative and well organised setting in which the children, with the help of caring and supportive staff, are given a wide range of opportunities for learning and development and for forming relationships with other children and adults. We endeavour to help children grow in confidence and to ease them through the transition from Pre-School to school.

We invite all families to our annual, end of year, Summer BBQ.
Once a year, we have over a two week period. Our children have the opportunity to watch eggs hatch and to care for tiny chicks or ducklings.
Once a year, we invite all parents to join us for a big picnic at Shephalbury park. Staff are on hand with various activities and a great time is had by all.
Each year, both rooms design & build scarecrows, that are entered into the Stevenage Garden & Allotment Society competition. In 2013 the Caterpillars WON!
We enjoy a number of religious and cultural celebrations. Such as Eid, Diwali, Easter, Red Nose Day etc. At Christmas we enjoy a party.
We love to get messy! The messier the better. Messy play encourages a child's creativity in an individual and expressive way.
We have been awarded a Gold Award from Green Tree Schools for our outdoor learning successes.
We enjoy outdoor play regardless of rain or snow. If its snowing we will do our best to remain open, but will keep you posted about closures online.
