Why choose Innsworth Preschool? Here’s why we are one of the best early years settings in Gloucester.
Discover why generations of families choose Innsworth Preschool for our uncompromising safety, incredible value, and the warm, nurturing community we have built over 30 years.
Choosing a preschool is one of the most important decisions you will make. We understand that you are looking for more than just childcare; you are looking for a safe, stable, and happy place where your child will be cherished and inspired. Here at Innsworth, we have spent three decades earning the trust of our community by focusing on what truly matters.
Uncompromising Safety: Our First Priority
Before anything else, your child’s safety is our highest priority, and our standards are non-negotiable. Our premises are physically secured with tall, reinforced security fences and locked gates, designed to prevent any unauthorised access and ensure no child can ever wander. This is supported by high-definition 4K CCTV monitoring throughout the setting. Internally, our safety promise continues: every single member of our staff is Level 3 Paediatric First Aid trained, and our supervision policies ensure children are never out of sight. This comprehensive approach to safety, from our physical boundaries to our expert team, is why parents trust us.
A 30-Year Legacy of Trusted Care
For over three decades, Innsworth Preschool has been at the heart of the community. Our long-standing presence makes us one of Gloucestershire’s most experienced and respected early years settings. Families return to us generation after generation because they trust the consistent, high-quality care we offer. We are proud to hold a consistent “Good” rating from Ofsted in all areas, a clear and reliable recognition of the high standards we provide every single day.
Exceptional Value with No Hidden Costs
We believe that exceptional value is about more than just an affordable price; it’s about the incredible experiences and high-quality environment your child benefits from every single day. Every child at Innsworth Preschool enjoys access to everything that makes us special: our huge garden spaces for daily adventure, our beautiful and well-resourced facilities, and a rich programme of fun and creative activities, including hands-on gardening.
We are committed to clear and honest financial transparency. Our standard provision, whether funded by the government or paid for via fees, includes all activities and resources, as well as a complimentary breakfast and healthy snacks for all children. The only additional charges are for our optional hot lunches and the provision of care consumables like nappies, both of which you are free to opt out of. With us, you will never find hidden ‘top-up’ charges for core learning experiences. Our promise is simple: an outstanding early years experience at a clear and honest value.
An Environment Built for Adventure and School Readiness
Few preschools in the area can offer the sheer scale and variety of our outdoor space. Children enjoy daily access to a huge, secure, all-weather play area for bikes and games, complemented by a large green garden for nature-based learning and exploration. This time outdoors is essential for building confidence and well-being.
This incredible environment supports our school-ready, term-time approach. Our schedule is a considered choice, designed to mirror the local school calendar. This gently introduces your family to the natural rhythm of the school year, making the final transition into Reception a smoother, more confident, and less stressful experience for everyone.
A Welcoming Community for Every Family
We warmly welcome families from around the world and are proud to be specialists in supporting children with English as an Additional Language (EAL). Our staff help EAL learners settle, feel understood, and grow in confidence, often learning key words in each child’s home language. This inclusive spirit extends to all our families. Whether your child needs extra time to settle or you are a working parent needing a reliable routine, our team is here to help. We proudly support our diverse community, including those at Gloucestershire Hospital, the University of Gloucestershire, and Imjin Barracks, with flexible 8am to 6pm sessions designed to fit your schedule.

Our commitment to inclusion is built into the fabric of our preschool. We are passionate about providing an accessible and supportive environment for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). We have proactively invested in our facilities to support a wide range of needs; our entire building is wheelchair accessible with all stairs converted into ramps, and we have installed special acoustic soundproofing panels to create a calmer, more focused atmosphere for children with sensory sensitivities. Our learning is enhanced with technology like interactive touch monitors, allowing children of all abilities to engage and thrive. We work in close partnership with every family to ensure each child receives the tailored support they need.
This inclusive spirit extends to all our families. We proudly support our diverse community, including those at Gloucestershire Hospital, the University of Gloucestershire, and Imjin Barracks, with flexible 8am to 6pm sessions designed to fit your schedule.
