Set in the heart of Nacton Village, Nacton & Bucklesham Under Five's is a beautiful rural early years provision. We offer early years educational play experiences that nurture the soul as children discover their 'feeling of me' & make sense of the world around them. Our play environment, rich in authentic & natural resources, empowers children to follow their curiousities, fostering resilience, self-confidence, & a love for learning beyone the 'classroom'.
We are a committee run preschool, open Monday to Thursday 8.45-15:15, & Friday 8.45 - 12.15pm, within term time, for 2 to 5 year olds. We are a nurturing community based preschool offering learning through free flow play, supporting individual needs in an empowering approach.
We aim to provide a safe, calm & caring environment where the children feel confident to explore & experience the natural world around them, empowering them to learn as they play. For 4 year olds, to help support your child's transition to Primary School, we offer the opportunity to join our Lunch Club at the primary school, during summer term, to equip them with the skills and experience to cope with a full school day. After the morning session at Preschool, two members of staff will accompany your child to Nacton School, where they will experience a lunch in the dining hall & then join the older children outside in the school playground. The children return to preschool for the afternoon session.
Please contact us to enquire about current spaces, or to join our waiting list for future start dates. We accept 2, 3 and 4 year old funding for 15 hours, and a proportion of 30 hours, which can be split with another setting. Please visit our website or contact us for current additional costs and non-funded session pricing.
