Based at The Community Room in the grounds of Birchwood Grove CP School in Burgess Hill, Dicker House Preschool has been running in one form or the other for over 80 years. Our spacious setting offers space for up to 26 children. We strongly believe in the value of play as a means of learning and through this means, aim to help children develop academically, creatively, emotionally, physically, and socially within a happy, safe and secure environment. We always carry a higher than required staff to child ratio in our setting.
Dicker House Preschool is a member of the Pre-School Learning Alliance, a national body which helps parents to understand and provide for the needs of their young children. The PLA, together with other academic bodies, assists us with staff training, and advises us on providing the best care possible. We are also registered and inspected regularly by OFSTED.
We meet term time only, Monday to Friday for morning sessions starting at 8.55 - 11.55 am and afternoon sessions from 11.55 – 2.55pm, providing access to a total of 6 hours of childcare per day. We can also offer an additional lunch hour if spaces allow, to which any of the children in on this day may attend at an additional cost, or as part of your free entitlement. Government funding accepted for both 15 and 30 hours.
