From the Squirrels Preschool
The Squirrels Preschool was established in 1989 and is run by a volunteer council of parents. It has access to its own playground and runs out of the West Totton Community Center. The neighbourhood is served by the preschool. Children with learning challenges and/or learning disabilities who speak English as a second language are supported in this environment. They also provide for kids who have certain physical and medical issues. Children may attend for a few sessions or for the entire day "The manager and employees are dedicated to giving kids top-notch care and instruction. They effectively use self-evaluation to evaluate and enhance their performance. They have complied with the suggestions made during the most recent inspection. Parents and staff get along well. Parents talk about how much their kids love going to preschool. They value the high calibre care and assistance their kids get." 2016 Ofsted
