All about us
Little Fawns Pre-school opened in September 2023 and the team behind it all came from East Farleigh Pre-school.
East Farleigh Pre-school had been in the village of East Farleigh for almost 50 years, in the summer of 2023 they had to leave their home as the hall had been sold, no suitable accommodation could be found in the village so they had to look a little further afield. They found the site in Stagshaw Close available, and opened in September.
The whole team have come to the new home, and they bring with them many, many years of experience and will offer the same excellent service and care that they have done for years.
A new location, a new name, a new beginning!
