Our mission...
At Putnoe Woods we strive to be a fun, affordable, inclusive Early Years setting where children are welcomed, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential in a safe and nurturing environment. We strive to develop our parental partnerships as parents are their child's first educators'
A little bit of history...
Putnoe Woods Preschool started as an entirely different preschool in a slightly different place.
We opened our doors as Rutherford Rascals back in 1981 and were located in the dining room of Mark Rutherford school only running short sessions in the morning and afternoon. Eventually we gained our own (temporary ) building and garden space in the grounds of Mark Rutherford School. Here we grew to offer full day sessions and could take up to 35 children in the building.
In February 2013 we became a charitable limited company and extended our operating hours.
After many years of use our building was showing serious signs of old age and the school also wanted to use the land we using so it was time to find pastures new!
In 2014 we moved to our lovely new large building a little way down the road and renamed ourselves Putnoe Woods Preschool. We can now take up to 70 children a session and we have 130 families registered with us. We are very proud of what we have achieved over the last 41 years and we will continue to provide quality childcare to the local community.
