Early Years @ Lightcliffe is a committee run, non-profit making Preschool based in the Christ Church Centre on Leeds Road. Our aim is to provide a warm and welcoming environment where children can play, learn and develop to their full potential.
​
We offer preschool provision (Early Years), before school care, after school care (Older Years) in term time, as well as holiday provision (Holiday Club) during school holidays.
​
At Early Years we welcome children from two years old to school age; children do not need to be potty trained. Children are able to participate in a range of imaginative play activities including water play, sand play, dough, role pay, drawing, painting and crafts etc...
​
We are well established and have been serving the local community since 1994. We are registered with Ofsted (registration number is EY303768).
​
The curriculum we follow is The Early Years Foundation Stage which is divided into three prime areas; Personal, Social and Emotional development; Communication and Language and Physical development and four specific areas; Expressive Arts and Design; Mathematics; Understanding the World and Literacy.
​
We have recently purchased the whole building and hire out our main hall to local clubs, societies and birthday parties.
