We have been a member of the pre-school learning Alliance since October 1997. This offers the pre-school support and guidance and provides us with the necessary insurance cover. St Luke’s Pre-School aims to enhance the development and education of children under statutory school age in a parent involved community based group. This is achieved from offering a safe, secure and stimulating environment that ensures equality of opportunity for all children and their families. All children are offered a tailored curriculum following the Early Years Foundation Stage. We are able to provide individual care and attention with/through a key-worker system whilst encouraging fun and friendship with other children and adults. To do this we currently employ 8 members of staff. ## **The Pre-school operates from;** Wesley Hall St Luke’s Church City Way Rochester Kent ME1 2BQ ## **Registered Office is:** Wesley Hall St Luke’s Church City Way Rochester Kent ME1 2BQ Registered as company limited by Guarantee in England and Wales Registered Office: Wesley Hall, St Luke’s Church, City Way, Rochester, Kent ME1 2BQ Registered No. 4970594 Registered Charity No. 1102167 .
