Welcome to St Mary’s Preschool in Oldswinford, Stourbridge
‘A Place to Play, Learn and Grow’. As a small preschool our vision is to provide a nurturing, community focused preschool where every child & family feels valued. We want every child to feel secure, confident and curious, developing independence and respect for others. By working closely with our families and the local community, we lay strong foundations for each child’s future learning and well-being.

Our Setting
Welcome to our warm and friendly ‘pack-away’ preschool, where every child is at the heart of our daily adventures. Nestled in a vibrant environment with a stunning garden area and large hall space, we offer a safe and inspiring space for young minds to explore, grow and thrive. Our passionate and dedicated staff create a nurturing atmosphere where wonder sparks learning and play every day, ensuring each child’s unique needs are met with care and attention. We’re committed to helping every child to ensure they feel valued and supported as they begin their exciting journey of learning and discovery.

Indoor space
The large, open and airy church hall gives us plenty of space to use as we wish, whether it’s for exercise, arranging furniture to accommodate large group activities or small, cosy corners.

Outside space
We are really lucky to have a fantastic, large, safe outside space which we use all year round. We go outside every day, adjusting the time spent outdoors depending on the weather. The large trees provide shady areas in the summer, and the children love running on the grass and digging in the soil. Our outdoor area has climbing equipment, a mud kitchen, planters for growing herbs etc.
