Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

Caversham Heights Pre-school is open to every family in the local community and we make every effort to ensure that the group is genuinely accessible to all. Our approach is based on the Pre-school Learning Alliance's learning through play philosophy. This carries children from early socialising at three through to more focused preparation for school as they approach five years old.
