Pre-School 2026 - 2027

Miss Belcher

I am excited to return to Pre-School this year. I have been in the Early Years team for 7 years and help aid the children with transition into wrap around care. I live in the village with my family and we love to explore.

Miss Moore

I am extremely excited about starting my eleventh year as Pre-School Teacher at Rode Heath. I am passionate about Early Years education and have enjoyed a varied and fulfilling career teaching children from Pre-School age, right up to Lower Key Stage Two. I have been teaching in Cheshire for 17 years now and as an experienced EYFS teacher I pride myself in placing each family's needs first. I am passionate about the arts and literature have a varied artistic background in music and drama. Outside of school, my two not-so little boys keep me very busy.

Miss Moss

Hi I'm Lisa. I'm extremely excited to start my sixth year at Rode Heath Pre-School and to be part of this dynamic team. Before I came to Pre-School I enjoyed being a stay-at-home mum to my three young children. Prior to that, I taught in a Primary School and thoroughly enjoyed teaching in Early Years classrooms. Outside of school my three children keep me very busy and we love exploring new places and enjoying exciting days out together.

Routines,Reminders & Messages:

Changes to collection arrangements - If there are any changes to collection arrangements for your child then we must have a password and please let us know the details in advance.
Lunches - If you would like to order a school lunch for your child then please look at the Pre-School menu on the website and complete any payments via Scopay. If you require any assistance then please contact the school office. New Scopay accounts require a code which the office will provide for you once your child has enrolled in Sepetmber.
School Spider App- Please ensure that you have uploaded the School Spider App at your earliest convenience. General messages and information from both Pre-School and the main school will be communicated to you.
Book Bags - By the end of the first full week at Pre-School every child will have enjoyed a short group read session and will be provided with a book bag for the year. Please read the letter inside and look at the news book together. There is a short guide to what to expect and which day to bring your child's book bag back into school.
Reading for Pleasure - Your child will choose a 'Reading for Pleasure' to share with you at home. During the Autumn term the selection of books we provide will specifically focus on skills such as observing the pictures, the textures and discovering what's behind the flaps. Enjoy sharing the simple repetitive phrases and sentences together and discussing what they can see. We will record the book that you have shared in a column on the inside of their news book and you can keep it safe at home for that week.
Phase 1 Phonics- We will be learning about how to tune in to the sounds around us both inside and outdoors. Any contributions of Pine Cones, small twigs, bark and shells or pebbles would be gratefully received.
- Tapestry Learning Journey - If you are new to Tapestry as a family then please look out for an email with instructions on how to get started by the end of this week. If your child has an older sibling and you already have an Tapestry login then please reactivate your previous account, this will be accessible by the end of this week. If your child attends another setting then we can share accounts with the other setting with your permission. If your child had a previous account at another setting then we can continue their Learning Journey by accessing a Key Code from the manager, please contact your previous setting and ask the manager to email Rode Heath Admin with the key code and we can then transfer the data to our Pre-School. As always, please let us know if you have any problems.
