The View Pre School Group
Dear Parents/Carers,
We hope you have all had a lovely Summer and have managed to spend time with families and friends.
Firstly, we would like to welcome all our new children and families, we hope that your time with us will be one filled with fun and wonderful memories. We are very excited to announce the opening of our brand new preschool – Bayside View Preschool in Poole. We can’t wait to get to know you all.
We will be sending out regular notices and any necessary correspondence to your email address. Please make sure we have your correct email address and that you check your emails regularly to ensure you don’t miss anything!!
We are so proud that during 2023, after lots of dedicated teamwork, Priory View Preschool received Accreditations in ‘The Curiosity Approach’ and ‘Hygge in the Early Years’.
We have also worked hard during that year to achieve Accredited status as a Communication Friendly Setting. These Accreditations will be applied to and continued within Crescent View and Bayside View preschools too.
When Vicky became the new owner of Priory View back in September 2021, she entered two competitions on behalf of the Pre-School and won an opportunity to embark on a Scandinavian Early Years Accredited Course called ‘Hygge in the Early Years’ (pronounced ‘Hew-guh’ and meaning ‘a feeling of wellbeing, cosiness and contentment’) and another Early years pedagogy called ‘The Curiosity Approach’ (promoting curiosity, awe and wonder in our children.)
Back in 2008, Vicky had the wonderful opportunity to visit Denmark with several Bournemouth colleagues and to explore their ‘forest nursery provision’. Vicky was amazed by the use of natural resources to inspire the children and to make them curious, independent and excited to learn and she now has had the opportunity to embed this special early years environment into both of our Pre-School provisions.
Our provisions are forever evolving as we continue this wonderful journey of ‘Curiosity and Wonder’.

It is VERY IMPORTANT that you let us know immediately of any change of address, telephone, email address or mobile contact details.
Could you also please write your child’s name in their coats and shoes, as many children have the same style, size and width-fitting shoes at this age and confusion can easily arise, especially during role-play situations.
As with other illnesses, adults and children who have symptoms should stay at home, avoid contact with others, and only return when well enough and have no temperature. Please always phone and inform us if your child is poorly.
Please take a moment to see if this is relevant to you – it may help.
