Our aims:

  • Provide a safe, secure, stimulating environment.
  • Promote learning and fun through play.
  • Create positive friendships.

In line with the Early Years Foundation Stages, our objectives were to transform our outside area. We had a very exciting garden project planned which totally transformed our outdoor facilities. thanks to fundraising and a £2,500 donation from Holsworthy Energy Services Company we were able to achieve this. Our new shelter was officially opened on the 18th October 2011. This outside ‘room’ is a really valuable to the children to allow them some fresh air and fun and to also learn about nature.

We are Ofsted approved and are regularly inspected, our Ofsted registration number is: 106349 and Registered charity number: 1174687.

We hope you enjoy browsing our website, if you require any further information please don’t hesitate to contact us!

What People Say

  • My little boy absolutely loves being at Shebbear Pre-School, as did his older brother. The staff are kind and welcoming, the children are very well cared for and the activities are really well-planned. It’s a total gem of a Pre-School.

    Anna Hare

  • Our daughter thrived at Little Bears and it’s prepared her for Shebbear Community School. There is always a wide variety of fun and exciting activities to help her learn and keep her entertained.
