Ickwell Pre-school is a non-profit making charitable organisation with professional full time staff run by a committee of parents. Ickwell Pre-school opened in 1963 and runs from the Ickwell Village Hall in the idyllic surroundings , where they have daily access to two large main playrooms, a kitchen/office and an enclosed outside play area, with a safety surface, which overlooks the village green. We aim to provide good quality education and care for pre-school children between the ages of 2 years 6 months and 5 years old. The Pre-school provides five morning sessions and three afternoon sessions per week (numbers permitting) and is able to offer 15 hours per week free government funded sessions for 3 year olds.
