Nursery World Awards 2024 – Pre-School of the Year

WINNER - Woodville Pre-School, Storal, Derbyshire

 

Woodville Pre-School opened in October 2023 as a result of demand in the community for term-time-only fully funded spaces in an area of deprivation.

Storal nursery group was approached by the local authority to expand its existing Outstanding Woodville Nursery School. The group changed its model to remove additional costs, such as enabling children to bring in lunch from home, so that it is as inclusive as possible to local families.

In a short time, the pre-school has become a heart of the community. Staff understand that each child is an individual and they arrive with their own life story. Parents are recognised as children’s first educators and an emphasis is placed on parent partnerships.
