About Us

Little Explorers Preschool has been running preschool and toddler stay & play sessions from Prestbury Pavilion for over thirty years with thanks and continued support of Prestbury Parish Council.

Using the play area

We are a community based; not-for-profit preschool which means we are managed by a voluntary management committee. This is usually made up of parents whose children attend the group.  We employ a fully qualified staff team most of whom are parents themselves.

Little Explorers is a member of the Gloucestershire PATA (Parent and Toddler Association).
