Lunch club and snack
Children bring their own lunch with them, and sit and eat with their friends every day.
We offer a healthy range of items for daily snack. This includes: Raisins, breadsticks and two types of fresh fruit. We also provide fresh milk as a nutritious drink and have a water dispenser which is available to all children at every session. This is all included in your hourly fee.
Shebbear Community School
We are situated within the grounds of Shebbear Community School and most of the children go from our Pre-school to this school when they are old enough. Little Bears Pre-school has close links with the school and we make visits to the school for stories and other activities and they sometimes visit us!! This all helps with a smooth transition for the children. Click here for more information on the school.
