About us

Longoak Preschool has been established since 1986. We are situated in the village of Bursledon within our local Community Centre. We are a registered charity & provide care & education in a safe caring environment for children aged 2-5 yrs.  

We have sole access to the hall, small outside patio & nature area. We are managed by a board of trustees, predominately  made up of parents whose children attend preschool, bringing a community feel to our group. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, then use this along with ongoing discussions with parents and the extensive knowledge and experience of our staff, to plan and support each individual child's needs.

We have been rated GOOD by Ofsted! To read our latest report follow the link below:

What we can offer your child

We believe Longoak Preschool will provide your child with a well rounded and achievable curriculum where children are encouraged to learn in a way that is best for them to give them the best start to their educational journey. We have a fun, friendly and passionate team that will provide each child with care and attention, opportunities to talk about the things that are important to them, support each child to benefit from all the activities and resources that are provided in the setting as well as nurturing the children so they are able to recognise and understand their feelings through the help of The Colour Monster!
