Welcome

We also offer Wallabies wrap around care, providing flexible childcare solutions for parents. Trust us to provide the quality care your child deserves.
About Us
At Bolney Under Fives Group, children will acquire various skills and qualities such as critical thinking, empathy, perseverance, self-reliance, curiosity, and experimentation. We provide support to children during all stages of their childhood development. Our preschool activities are aligned with The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) to ensure that child's emotional and intellectual growth is nurtured. Our hands-on learning opportunities and stimulating situations allow young children to develop into bright young minds. Contact us to learn more and enroll your child today!
Making memories is our priority...
At Bolney Under Fives and Wallabies, we believe in creating lasting memories for our preschoolers and their families. We organize at least two family outings every year, along with Christmas and end-of-academic-year parties, and Sports Day. We also invite experience givers to our setting to enrich learning experiences and life skills. Our preschool is an active participant in village life, and we take pride in our community involvement.
Bolney Under Fives Group is a registered charity and has a small committee. We rely on fundraising to both help keep our fees as low as possible and to replace worn equipment.
Our main fundraising event is Bolney Bonfire Night, a lovely unticketed family event open to everyone. This is held on the Friday closest to November 5th each year. As well as traditional bonfire and spectacular fireworks there's hot food, a bar, hot drinks, light up toys, sweets and donuts too! We seek sponsorship each year for this event and always welcome new sponsors.
We also raise money by taking part in the summer village fun day and by rescuing food in partnership with Fareshare, Food Drop and Food Share, for which donations can be made.
We hope in 2023 to have a team in The Famous Bolney Pram Race who can be sponsored to run the course in a costume chosen by the children.
