St. Mary's Pre-School Ltd, Yate is a privately owned pre-school operating in the centre of Yate Town. We operate out of St. Mary’s Old School. The building is a community building, servicing the local community and offering many activities and clubs throughout the week. 

 

The pre-school is open from Monday - Friday during South Gloucestershire’s academic term time only for 38 weeks a year. Our opening  hours are 09:00 am – 15:00. Sessions run for 3 hours from 09:00-12:00 and 12:00-15:00. Children can choose to do a range of sessions from half day to full day over five days. 

 

The Pre-School  cater for children aged between 2 and 5 years. 

 

The Pre-School is Owned by Rachel Moore and has been running as a business since 2008. Previously the Pre-School operated as a charitable organisation for over 30 years, where we operated inside the church as St. Mary's Church Pre-School. Since 2008 we have been operating in the old school building situated in the car park opposite St. Mary's Primary School.
