Barking Pre-School is our cause for June 2026 - it is run by a committed, highly qualified and enthusiastic team of staff, who work hard to organise a wide variety of fun and educational activities to meet the individual needs of all children. The group is well equipped with a wide range of resources and has a spacious area within which to play. There is also a large secure garden behind the hall for outdoor play. We believe in good parent partnerships and acknowledge children reach their full potential whilst engaging in activities based around their individual interests. Barking Pre-school is a registered non-profit charity (no. 1159369).
