Welcome to First Steps

Welcome! First Steps is our Pre-school at Sampford Peverell C of E Primary School. All Pre-school children are in Willow Class and our aim is to to help them develop confidence and a love for learning whist learning new skills, which can enrich them ready for their school life. We have a lovely indoor and outdoor space and all of our learning spaces encourage independence, heuristic play and imaginative play to create all sorts of learning opportunities.

Your child will be taught by Mr Leaman and Mrs Bennett. Learning in Willow Class is overseen by the Miss Carder, our Reception Teacher. First Steps caters for children from their 2nd birthday right up until they start school in Reception. We offer a safe, nurturing environment in which each individual child is recognised, valued and supported to achieve their potential through meaningful play experiences. We have a mixture of group sessions, free play and adult guided, offering children the chance to develop the skills they need in life – to explore, to play, to learn, to think, to express themselves and to learn to make friends!
