We are an independent, private preschool, set within the grounds of Christ Church in the village of Sayers Common, West Sussex and conveniently located, just off the A23. We provide high quality, fun and enthusiastic childcare for 2-5 year olds and welcome everybody into the setting, we believe every child is unique!
The preschool is run from the church hall, which is a separate building a few metres away from the church and run by owners Emma and David and their amazing team. Although the preschool is run independently from the church, there is a close relationship with the committee.
As parents themselves, Emma and David can relate with families, as we all want the best for our children. Isabello's was created to provide exceptional care, where every child has the platform to be pushed and succeed within a fun and welcoming environment, offering modern educational techniques, following the EYFS framework to enhance preschool learning. We are proud members of the Early Years Alliance.
"Together may we give our children the roots to grow and the wings to fly"
Wellies are a must!
At Isabello's we explore the world around us and have a special focus on the outdoors, boosted by our outdoor learning activities within the grounds and the surrounding area.
We provide additional learning activities such as:
Forest School - is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment.
Yoga for Kids - is a system of physical exercises and postures, that enhances childrens flexibility, strength, coordination, and body awareness. In addition, their concentration and sense of calmness and relaxation improves. All created in a fun way.
Languages for Kids - additional languages will be offered by Isabello's. Exposing a child to a second or third language allows them to optimize their learning potential. Children who have learned a foreign language show greater cognitive development in mental flexibility, creativity, reasoning, and problem-solving.
Our approach to learning is fun, we want all to be engaged and each child to reach their potential!
