Here are some of the exciting activities set up for the children to explore. 🌰 In our nature tuff trays, the children were encouraged to use the nut crackers and screwdriver to make holes through the conkers. 🎨 The children went to pick blackberries in the fields surrounding pre-school. We then used blackberries and Turmeric to make natural paints. 🔥On our visit to the play park, we collected sticks. When we arrived back to the garden, the children were encouraged to make campfires. To see more about a beautiful pre-school, take a look at our brand new website – https://delaruecrickets.com/

🌟 What a Fantastic First Week at Delarue Crickets Pre-School! 🌟 We would like to give a huge welcome back to all of our wonderful returning families and an extra special welcome to all of our new families joining us this year. It has been lovely to see familiar faces again and to begin getting to know our newest children and parents. The children have had a fantastic first week settling in, making new friends and exploring their surroundings. We’ve loved heading out to explore the fields, getting creative with painting activities, and using our imaginations to become amazing superheroes! 🦸♀️🦸♂️🎨🌳 We are so proud of how well all of the children have embraced their first week and can’t wait to see what adventures the rest of the term brings. As we start the new year, we’d also like to reintroduce our wonderful staff team below, who are looking forward to supporting your children’s learning, development and fun throughout the year. Here’s to a fantastic term ahead! 💚
Beautiful open fields & even better play areas
Don’t just take our word for it
“Fantastic place to send your child. My son has only recently started this pre-school after a negative experience somewhere else in Tonbridge last September. I was hesitant about ever sending him to a daycare setting again.
I am so glad that I took my healthcare worker and many others recommendations on Delarue.
The team have been nothing but professional, supportive and have literally gone above and beyond to make my sons time there as pleasant as possible.
My son is displaying some traits of Autism and I have received so much positive feedback and advice from Lynda and her team.
My very clingy son leaves me for dust when I drop him off and I know he is having the best time.
Highly recommend!”
“Delarue Crickets Preschool is an outstanding preschool with a truly dedicated and caring team. My son attended two years ago, and the support they provided was invaluable. Their staff played a significant role in helping us navigate the process that ultimately led to his autism diagnosis, assisting with paperwork, referrals, and connecting us with additional external support services for our family.
My daughter is currently attending the preschool, and it has been wonderful to see how much her confidence and resilience have grown during her time there. The level of care, commitment, and encouragement the team shows every child is exceptional.
I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you to the entire team for the incredible work you do and the positive impact you have on children and families alike”
