Our sister pre-school Haydon Meadow was established in 1984, and still runs from within the Haydon Centre in Haydon Wick. Operating under private ownership since 2002 the pre-school expanded in 2010 and opened its doors at Haydon Wick School with Barn Owl Pre-School. In 2023 Haydon Pre-schools limited was formed to incorporate both pre-schools. In 2024 we opened Purrfect Start within Haydonleigh School.
Little Herons is the latest to join the family in 2025.
We offer both sessional and full day care. Our staff are trained in professional child care including BA Honours and Early Years Teacher Status. All staff hold DBS's and safeguarding qualifications. We also have paediatric trained first aid staff on site at all times.
As a group we offer a holiday club provision throughout the school holidays located at our sister site Barn Owl Pre-School. Located within the grounds of Haydon Wick School this holiday club offers a fun, stimulating and enjoyable setting to learn in should you or your child require it.
Swindon Borough Council provide 15 hours of free child care per week for all 3-4 year old's and many will be entitled to 30 hours depending on individual working circumstances for 38 weeks per year.
We recognise that each child is an individual. We provide an environment which is safe, friendly and stimulating where children learn through their play. Our mission is that each child leaves the setting a caring individual with a developed character and a love for learning.
"Let's play. Let's learn"
