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 Owner is an Early Years Professional and she is also a qualified Primary School Teacher. Our Managers are qualified in Early Years and have many years’ experience. Most other regular staff are qualified to at least Level 3 in Early Years. We cater for up to 20 children aged between 2 and 4 years. We are open term-time only.
We have close links with the main school and most of our children transfer to their Reception Class.
The main school’s website is: St Joseph’s Catholic Primary, Brighton – Home (st-josephs.brighton-hove.sch.uk)
Opening Hours:
WE ARE OPEN FROM 8.00AM TO 3.30PM EVERY DAY TERM TIME ONLY

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.
