Little Villagers Pre-School and Forest School, Windlesham, was founded in 2006. It is located within the grounds of Woodcote House School based in Surrey. Although it runs independently from Woodcote House School it benefits from its beautiful grounds where we operate our Forest School in secure woodlands. We also have the benefit of some of its other facilities.
Little Villagers Pre-School is owned and managed by Karen Henderson-Williams who has successfully established and run other quality pre-schools in the area for many years. Karen and her highly experienced team have a wealth of knowledge and experience in Early Years.
Our strong Curriculum forms the core of our children’s development and learning and is driven through the principles of the EYFS ensuring our children leave our Pre-School being the best version of themselves they can be.
