A warm, friendly, committee-run preschool based in rural Old Newton, Suffolk.
Based in Old Newton Village hall, we have been providing a pack-away, fun and enjoyable preschool for children aged 2 to 5 since 1987. Our strong connections within the village and facilities allows us to provide the children with a warm, safe place to play, learn and grow. We have close links with our local village school, Old Newton Primary School, supporting those moving to school with their transition.
We pride ourselves on our fully qualified, enthusiastic and imaginative play leaders who provide a child-focused, interest led and interactive learning environment, to give your child the best possible start to their school journey.
Operating during term times only, we have indoor and secure outdoor play areas, and access to supervised play on outdoor equipment. We regularly arrange for walks around the adjoining playing field, woodland and nature areas.

What Parents think about us:
“Our child is always very enthusiastic about going to the pre-school, and enjoys spending time with all of the staff. We love that he has access to outside space and there are often trips out to the park etc. All of the staff are helpful and able to answer any questions. We think they do a wonderful job nurturing the children and getting them ready for the transition to school.”
“I feel the pre school works really hard to accommodate all of the different children’s needs, they give them a wide variety of activities to do and teach them extremely well. All staff are very caring, kind and friendly, my daughter has been going from the age of two was very nervous to begin but they have made her feel very relaxed she can not wait to go when its her set days. Its great for me as a Mum as I know my daughter is 100% safe at the setting and is happy.”
“Old Newton Under Fives has been like a second home to our daughter for the past 2 years, she has always enjoyed going, the staff create a great learning space and have a real understanding of the children’s needs”
“I love that they have outside time and it’s not a concern that they get wet or muddy. Some places I looked into before choosing Old Newton seemed a bit “regimented” and I love that children can really be children as well.”
“The environment is friendly, caring and supportive. Overall the staff are very good and I can see my son has gained so much from attending.”
“We love how comfortable we all feel there. Nothing is ever too much trouble or a rush. We always know she’s safe and happy. As well as bring impressed by the amount she has learnt.”
