Hartsholme Pre-school and Kids Club is based in Hartsholme in Lincoln.
We are attached to Hartsholme Academy and work alongside the school to provide early years and wrap around care for the children.
The nursery takes from children from 2-5 years
providing care from 7:30am – 6:00pm.
Breakfast and Afterschool Club take from age 4-11 years catering for pre and post school times providing stimulating and exciting activities.
Hartsholme Pre-school and Kids Club joined the Heath Farm Day Nursery group in September 2015.
Organisation of the day at Hartsholme Pre-School & Kids Club
Upon arrival from 7:30am – 8:30am the children will be given the choice if they would like breakfast.
They will then have free play both inside and out with structured activities planned until 9am.
The older children will then go to school and the Pre-school/Toddler children will split into their individual rooms.
At 9:15am once all the children have arrived we will have small group times or circle time saying hello to everyone who has come to play.
We offer a rolling snack from 10am-10:30am for the children that would like something small to eat.
We then have free flow both inside and out with structured activities for the children to take part it.
We sit down for dinner together in our rooms at 12pm.
After dinner the children will have some quiet time where they can have a look at a book or have a little sleep if needed.
Then we will be offering free flow again throughout the afternoon.
At 3:30pm when we collect the older children from school the toddler and pre-school children join together for tea at 4pm.
Both rooms will then have a range of activities to choose from both inside and out until they are collected.

Toddler Room
Off the entrance lobby, this room acts as a base for the younger children.
This is a space that the children can access resources that are more age appropriate for their stage of development.
There will be room for large scale items and also small world play, children will have free access to toys which will be at an appropriate level for them to self
select. The children will be encouraged to tidy away the toys they have played with after they have finished.
The Pre-School Room
At the base of the school is our 3-4 year old room, it is a bright airy room with plenty of activity areas and fantastic outdoor space which is shared with the
school nursery provision. There is also a dedicated cosy area so those children can have a well-earned rest. The Home Corner, reflects the current theme, be it a Doctor’s surgery, a shop, or a castle whichever takes the children’s interests. A music system will be available to reinforce other activities such as music and dance / movement. There will be room for large scale floor play such as Construction, Duplo, or Miniature World play such as the Farm, Jungle world, Cars, Animal Hospital, or the Family Doll’s House. The room will also have the flexibility to host group activities such as singing, dancing and physical activities.


Creative Room / Wet & Messy Area
At nursery we do lots of messy play activities. The children do wear aprons but would be great if you could bring some spare clothes in case of any accidents.
When not used for dining, tables will be used for table-top activities. Weighing, measuring, small construction, snipping and sticking, playdoh and a host of other activities. Small group activities such as table-top games will be a regular sessional feature as well as puzzles, colouring and board games.
Outdoor Play
The Ride-on-toy patio has a selection of trikes and vehicles. Other patio areas enable year round outdoor activities such as a chalk board, sand and water play.
All children will have the opportunity for outdoor free play and a structured outdoor activity during each session. We aim to encourage your child to accomplish a host of physical skills using their body and small apparatus.
Our nature garden, hosts balance beams, willow arches, stepping logs, boulders and a large sandpit. We also have a pet area with rabbits, guinea pigs, pigs, sheep and chickens. The children enjoy going on outings into the field to feed the animals.


The Nursery Garden
The outdoor area of the nursery is large and spacious and varied. The children will have their own vegetable garden, the produce of which will be used in the kitchen for their meals. The children will be involved with planting seeds, watering, weeding and harvesting from their garden.
We have various secretive seated areas around the garden for quiet and reflective moments. There are play houses and a variety of slides and apparatus to suit the seasonal needs. In fine weather the children will be outside as much as possible, even for a picnic tea!
