Welcome to First Steps Pre-School

Leading pre-schools in Leicester

We would like to welcome and introduce you to First Steps.

Our settings are open term-time, Monday to Friday from 9:00am until 3:00pm and within these hours we offer a variety of sessions for children aged from 2 to 5 years.

All sessions are based on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) including the Prime Areas (Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language and Physical Development) and Specific Areas (Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design ), offering a stimulating and balanced curriculum, which is carefully planned and monitored to help all children reach their full potential.

Our settings are well equipped and offer a wide range of activities; both settings have an outside area that is completely enclosed and secure, with a wide range of outdoor toys and equipment.

On this website you will find more details about First Steps which we hope you will find informative. Please contact us by phone, text or email if you want further details or more information sending to you. Once you have booked a space, we will arrange up to two pre-visits. You are not charged for these pre-visits and can leave your child with us in the room for a short time to see how they settle, while you complete all essential paperwork. Depending on the outcome of these visits, we will confirm which sessions will be available and most suitable for your child.

What do the parents say?
  • Thanks for all you did for Serena while she was with you. She is enjoying school but still talks about First Steps every time we walk past.
  • Amrit loves his afternoons with you and can’t wait to get there every day. He is so much better behaved at home now too.
  • Thanks very much for helping Ellie with her toilet training. It has been much easier for me when I have your support.
