INFORMATION
Welcome to St Joseph’s Pre-school Playgroup
We are a small, friendly, privately run setting based on a Catholic School site in Brighton. We have close links with the school, and the majority of our children move on to the school’s Reception class. Our Managing Director is an Early Years Professional and she is also a qualified Primary School Teacher. Most other regular staff are qualified to at least Level 3 in Early Years. We cater for a maximum of 20 children aged between 2 and 4 years. We are open term-time only.
Opening Hours:
WE ARE OPEN FROM 8.00AM TO 4.00PM EVERY DAY TERM TIME ONLY .
We offer the Early Years Free Entitlement which means that from the term after your child turns 3, you will be entitled to a free 15 hours per week. We also offer 30 hours per week free for eligible families – see this factsheet for more details of this scheme:
We offer free funded places for some 2 year olds. See the Family Information Service website for information on eligibility and how to apply:

We use an online system called ‘Tapestry’ for recording children’s progress with photographs, observations and assessments. When your child starts with us we will explain how this works.
