At The Scott Centre Preschool, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children aged 2 to 5 can embark on a journey of discovery and growth.
Conveniently located within walking distance of Andover town centre, our Ofsted-registered preschool offers a bright, spacious, and well-equipped setting, complete with a secure outdoor play area perfect for exploration and adventure.
We recognise that each child is unique. Our curriculum aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and focuses on the individual interests and developmental stages of the children. By tailoring activities to each child’s needs, we foster emotional, social, and communicative skills, as well as academic abilities such as pre-reading, pre-writing, counting, size and shape recognition, and problem-solving.
Our preschool boasts bright and spacious indoor areas alongside a secure outdoor play space. These environments are designed to inspire curiosity and creativity, offering children the freedom to explore, play, and learn in a safe setting.
Beyond academics, we emphasise the importance of creative and physical development. Through music, art, and physical activities, we help children improve their balance, movement, and awareness of the world around them, promoting a well-rounded early education experience.

We support children in building confidence, independence, and strong relationships through group activities and structured social interactions. Through playing, children learn to express their emotions, understand others’ feelings, and navigate social situations with kindness.

Morning and afternoon sessions at The Scott Centre run from Monday to Friday during term time. Both morning and afternoon sessions are available. Children are welcome to join us for Lunch Club from 12pm-1pm each day (but please remember to bring a packed lunch!).
We accept government funding for 2-4 years old and we are registered with Local Authority to allow parents to access their fee entitlement of preschool hours.
