About Us

Opened by Penny and Kay in 1987 (hence the name PK!), we’ve become a popular pre-school providing care, learning and preparation for School to families in Grayshott and surrounding Villages. Over the years we’ve successfully built strong links with local schools and the community.

PK is a registered Charity (a non-profit making Organisation). We work closely with Hampshire County Council, Services for Young Children, the Early Learning Alliance and OFSTED. We’re very proud of our achievements and for being recognised as Outstanding in all areas following our assessment from OFSTED (March 2022)

Our Curriculum

What will my child learn? All activities at PK are tailored to your child’s individual needs – ensuring they’re age and stage appropriate. Children follow the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) – as set out by the Department for Education and Skills. The Framework provides a good balance of daily adult-led activities and child initiated learning. We focus on the following key areas in our assessment of your child:
The Unique Child
Every child is unique and they are constantly learning and can be resilient, capable and self-assured.

Positive Relationships

Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships.

Enabling Environments

Children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and carers.

Learning & Development

Children develop and learn in different ways. The framework covers the education of all children in the early years, including children with special educational needs and disabilities.

Play based activities are enhanced by staff both indoors and outdoors dependent on development and interests of the children.
