Aims

At Lindale Pre-School Nursery we aim to encourage every child to reach their full potential in learning and understanding of the world, creating a happy and secure environment in which they may develop their initiative, independence, social skills and general knowledge. 

We will work in partnership with parents/carers to help them achieve this and offer children and their parent/carers a service that promotes equality and values diversity.
