Welcome To The Playhouse

Located in Greenbank, Bristol Children's Playhouse is a charity (Voluntary Preschool) which provides a supportive and stimulating environment for the whole family. Unique to the area it offers two preschools - one for 2 year olds and one for 3 year olds. The preschools are in separate buildings but share the outdoor play area.

Open since 1979 Bristol Children's Playhouse is a well used and  essential part of the community. Our aim is to safeguard and promote the welfare of children within the family and provide quality preschool education allowing children to gain positive experiences which will improve their confidence and self-esteem.

Our Preschools

Ofsted  - 'The quality of teaching is good overall; children make good progress and develop key skills for their next stage in learning.'

We were recently rated GOOD by Ofsted:
Ofsted report: 

• Staff provide a friendly welcome for children. Consequently, they feel confident and secure, and develop good relationships with staff.
• Management and staff develop strong partnerships with parents. Consequently, this promotes continuity in children's learning.
• Children enjoy daily outdoor play, which supports their understanding of a healthy lifestyle.
• Staff have a firm understanding of how children learn and a secure knowledge of the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage.
• Staff are good at supporting children learning English as an additional language. They ensure all children feel included, which promotes their emotional well-being. Consequently, this enables children to make good progress from their starting points.

We work closely with Parents/Carers to provide an inclusive preschool experience. We encourage learning through play, positive self image and respect.
