Pre-school Tours
We are so excited to welcome local families onto our school through our series of tours. Places on each tour are limited, so we can answer all your questions and keep the learning environment calm for our current children.
You will be shown around the school facilities, with a chance to see our pre-school class in action. We do recommend coming along without your child, if possible (they can get a little bored of adults talking) but if childcare is an issue, we would rather you visit with your child than miss out on the tour!
There are a range of dates and tickets are limited to two per family to allow everyone a chance to get a tour. Please click here to book a pre-school tour.
Please let us know if you have further questions and/or ideas. E-mail info@abbeyfarmet.org.uk.
