St Laurence Pre School has been established for over 30 years. We are located in the heart of Upminster, situated just behind Upminster Library and are a stones throw away from the Park, local schools and are within a 10 minute walk to Upminster Station. Our location is perfect for you to drop off your child with ease.

Our dedicated team of qualified Early Years Practitioners have a wealth of experience and knowledge. Together we have created a safe and nurturing environment with a family atmosphere that allows your child to feel at home while in our care.

We are guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage and have a carefully planned academic curriculum which contributes to each child’s wellbeing, learning and development. We pride ourselves on working in close partnership with our families supporting each child to achieve their own goals and develop into resilient, confident, self assured individuals.

Our free flowing space from indoors to outdoors enables all of our ‘little learners’ the same opportunity to thrive in an environment that works for them. We have a large climbing frame in the garden and many outside resources (bikes, sand tables, mud kitchen, water play, etc) providing rich opportunities for your child to be able to immerse themselves in whatever interests them. New skills such as learning French, Phonics and Sign Language, are embedded through play expanding their knowledge of the world we live in.

As the saying goes, time moves fast when you’re having fun and in the blink of an eye the children will be preparing for their transition into full time education. To support them and you during this time, we have a well planned transition process and a close working relationship with our local schools who visit the setting each year to meet the children joining them in September. By the time the children fly our nest, they are more than ready for their next little journey in life.

We would love to show you around our Pre School for a guided tour. To arrange a visit or for further information, please follow the ‘contact us’ link at the top of the page. We look forward to meeting you soon!
